Hi all/Dev,
Loving the app so far. And love the fast updates.
I was looking at the community Add Ons such as lightning fast, which I think most people use. But I can't find anywhere that confirms that the add-on only pulls cached content? Or is it possible to have an addon like that? I don't want to click a link, and have my Debrid provider start downloading a torrent.
Thanks.
Hi all,
Please bear with my long post.
I really like the thought of aliases, and I'm trying to have a higher digital hygiene standard. (By the way the words 'ide.a' and 'bett.er' are causing the post to be blocked?, took me 20 minutes to figure it out 🤣)
On the free proton plans, you get 10 aliases.
These will run out quickly so I was trying not to use them.
I then did some googling and ended up creating a Bitwarden account and a DuckDuckGo account. DDG allows you to create unlimited aliases. So I integrated that into BW, and then use the 'email generator', and I get a fresh alias.
Then I save it in Bitwarden. For a lot of these aliases, I try to manually copy the details and save them in proton pass. The duck system is not easy to manage and view which aliases you have created. So I was looking at the paid proton plans. I would love to buy Proton Unlimited outright, but I guess that will never happen. And I'm trying to cut down subscriptions in general. So I was looking at the proton pass + SL Lifetime plan for ~199€.
It's a lot of money for unlimited aliases and alias management when I can get the unlimited aliases from duck, but have less control and visibility. People then say, if you use a lifetime plan, what happens if it shuts down etc, so they suggest a custom domain so you can move away. I have never had a custom domain but I guess it's as easy as going to one of the major sites and buying one. But then I have another thing to manage and renew forever. (And maybe websites could identify the owner of the domain? So my identity would be easily leaked? I dunno). I'm not doing anything dodgey, but I just don't want people seeing information that they don't need. If I didn't have a custom domain, and proton shuts down, I guess I could try manually change all the accounts where I used aliases.
Anyway, I feel like I'm stuck between all these options and not sure what to do. I can buy the lifetime plan, and deal with a proton shutdown if it happens. I can buy the lifetime plan and a domain, which I need to renew and maintain, but would offer easier switching if proton shuts down. Or I could stay with the current manual way.
I literally have read tons of threads on this, and I'm still unsure. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you all.
