I hope one day we will find a method to finance websites operating costs without ads.

Never. People don't want to donate, people don't want to pay a subscription fee, people don't want to watch ads. People want everything on the internet for free.

Your money is honestly better spent donating to new efforts like Ladybird or Servo.

I switched to Pass recently after having used Bitwarden for a couple years. I'd say Bitwarden still has a slight edge in terms of features, but Pass has gotten good enough and it's included in my Proton subscription.

So why does Proton work on multiple products at the same time? Simply because:

  1. throwing more bodies at existing efforts has a point of diminishing returns and then a point when it even becomes counterproductive
  2. given the lengthy minimum time it takes to perfect services, starting earlier lets us deliver more to the community over the long term

That's why we bring new services to market earlier than some of you would like, but I can also say that it's never done if we believe it would compromise an existing effort.

Proton would be absolutely awesome if it stuck to it's "We're better than GMail" plan and provided stellar email and calendar.

You're saying that like those have now gotten worse than they were before.

There are separate mail and VPN plans. What are you upset about?

You might be surprised to find out that, just like everywhere else, Linux users are a minority among the Proton userbase.

Because otherwise you'd be supporting the Chromium monopoly, and that's the biggest sin imaginable in the Fediverse.

That's not what "federated" means. Please do not spread misinformation.

 

I've been using Kagi for a while and it's nice to see them embrace the Threadiverse.

 

Kagi is a paid alternative to ad-supported search engines like Google and DuckDuckGo. It has recently revised its pricing model, reducing the cost for a plan with unmetered searches from $25 per month to $10.

Kagi boasts the following (and more) features:

  • Blocking or boosting specific domains in your search results
  • "Lenses", which are individual setting profiles (e.g. region locks, domain whitelists) that can be applied to search queries
  • All of the Bangs that DuckDuckGo has (e.g. type "!yt" in front of your query to immediately search on youtube.com)
  • Universal Summarizer, which works with any website, PDF document, YouTube video and more

This blog post goes into full details about Kagi's capabilities.
