Hmm, I use it for everything, but I’m using the bridge with apple mail.app, maybe that’s a bit of the happy path for searching.. No real complaints besides the bridge sometimes pegging a cpu until I HUP it..
Apple mail app searching sucks. Might just be my personal experience but I find it easier to just search for email on gmail

hcaptcha is not much better than recaptcha, in that its only ‘improvement’ is shifting data extraction from google to cloudflare. also, captcha in general shifts burden onto and penalizes legitimate users, especially privacy-conscious ones, in addition to malicious ones. that is, false positive rates are too high to achieve acceptable false negative rates. it would be better not to use a centralized captcha service,…
This is not actually true: every relevant aspect is different from a privacy perspective, both technical and legal. Looking only at the technical differences, hCaptcha lets enterprise users like Proton locally scrub any info like IPs prior to sending to hCaptcha. It can be set up so that the user makes no direct connection at all to the service, and the code runs inside of a sandboxed IFRAME. As for false positive vs…

Sorry if our answer wasn't clear. You can de-activate, but it must be manually requested through support.
You’re replies are very frustrating. It’s like you’re completely missing the point of the replies and focusing on very tiny, irrelevant details. Nobody is claiming that you can’t remove deactivated accounts. Only that you charge for them until you go through the rather annoying process of contacting customer support. And then you make some bad excuse that it’s in the name of security because somebody could potentiall…
I would kindly suggest you stop wasting your time engaging them in their corp. troll techniques.
If you have additional questions hopefully other members can answer them here.

But does it mean Amazon reads your email?
you need to figure that out yourself. Does Amazon look at your files in S3? Do they inspect your API traffic? Look at the files on your EC2 instances? Did I mention that Amazon has datacenters in places with stronger privacy laws (Germany cough cough)?

#306A few comments about this. A very small fraction of logins get the CAPTCHA challenge. We, and other services, face unrelenting brute force attacks on our login endpoints. If you are seeing a CAPTCHA on login, chances are that something about your connection is suspicious to our system. It's far from perfect, and we continue to improve it, but at most a percent or two of users are seeing CAPTCHA at any time. The CAPTC…

What's the problem with using ReCAPTCHA? Is it not the best tool for the job?
