>> Browser Extensions: Major Outage
A nice reminder to keep passwords offline.
by windward - Last thing I saw before my Proton Mail stopped responding was the "how are we doing?" survey modal, which I dismissed because I just wanted to get to my email.
Hope it's nothing too bad.
by lillesvin - How is it the browser extension doesn't have a local cache? It seems like basic functionality. I'm having to copy passwords by hand from the mobile app, which does have a local cache.
Anyway, it's a good reminder: self-host all the things!
by gradstudent - I’m paying for Proton enterprise and it is not demonstrating any value over the major providers as of late.
