Due to Apple pulling ADP from uk consumers I think it would be fitting for us to discuss and suggest alternatives that our uk members could use and switch to.

    Cryptee started in 2017, so around 8 years, I think it can be said that the are not new commers. It’s not as old as Proton of course but yeah I think you can not say they haven’t been around for long enough. ente started in 2020 so it’s been 5 years I think it’s starting to be fair to assume they can be sustainable for the comming years but it’s still relatively new of course.

            Yes but if ente goes bankrupt even if the code is open and free (AGPLv3 if I remember correctly) it doesn’t mean that it will find maintainers and even if it does the nooby customers will have a hard time knowing and transfering to the new repo/fork. For these online services I totally understand that people prefer stability and sustainabilty over privacy. Remember CTemplar, Skiff, etc…? Companies like Proton, Standard Notes, have proven that you can run a privacy business for over a decade but that does not mean every privacy product or services will sustain that long.
