That is _one_ way of “back it up with numbers”, I see. Come on!

I mean, app integration points cannot be remotely as privacy invasive as an OS (especially one that’s been repeatedly pwned), but aren’t we _not_ focusing on it because … reasons?

Proton is integrating with an industry leader. Just as how Firefox builds and runs on Windows, can run closed source plugins (including Zoom), but that doesn’t make their mission as a organisation, imo, less privacy-centered.[[1]](#footnote-78305-1)

Personally, this move looks like Proton is going mainstream, which usually means integrating with rest of the ecosystem.

Jitsi is _actually_ super neat, especially for 1-on-1s. Unsure why it gets such a bad rep.

1. Enabling the integration point with Zoom by default, though, is a curious choice by Proton. [↩︎](#footnote-ref-78305-1)
