* ProtonMail advertises no IP logging and overall this is very unlikely. I prefer the more transparent privacy tools that make it clear what their legally required to log and what that are required to provide to LEOs.

* ProtonMail Tor hidden service is mostly a joke. Their signup isn't available over it. This combined with no support for actually anonymous methods of payment make their advertising of "anonymous email" dubious. I understand the challenges involved, but if you can't overcome/mitigate them, then don't make those claims.

* Email is not a secure protocol and most every permutation of webmail is not securely implemented. Unless you're using PGP on the client side you will be trusting the provider.

* The steps required currently to run webapps and verify they haven't been altered are obtuse especially if you want to continue to get any kind of new features or updates.
