Sorry I wasn't clear, I wasn't talking about someone MiTM but someone actively compromising their servers.
It would be nice to have a corpus of javascript and HTML from these sorts of sites so that someone could go and look for these kinds of attacks but I doubt you can do anything proactively without destroying the ability to launch features/do experiments. Certs change rarely so pinning works, content not so much.
They don't make ProtonMail worse per se but I'm a little worried when people bill bad security ideas as core security features, it makes me cautious about anything else that could be problematic.
>I don't think any of these challenges make ProtonMail a mistake though. It's certainly always going to be better than GMail, which depends on access to your message plaintext for advertising, and therefore can never provide privacy.
No email provider whose main interface is a browser ever can provider you with those promises of privacy though, at least GMail doesn't claim it when they can't really promise it.
