There's definitely a lot of stuff they could be doing better. And for some reason they won't listen to their users on some of these things.
Maybe try asking for these features over on their reddit pages? People from proton are actually on those. I don't think anyone from proton is here on lemmy
Or, as my brother-in-law often says when he’s frustrated with technology: “I don’t want to know how it works, I just want it to fucking work.” Lots of people consider computers to be just tools, like a hammer.
That kind of mindset needs to be a thing of the past. Not having the patience to figure out how things work is how every war in my lifetime got started.
why are they always trying to compete with apple in the worst ways possible?
If people want to use apple devices, they'll just use apple devices.
Seriously if anyone from microsoft is reading this, ask yourself, why did so many people LOVE windows 7 and hate windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11? Windows 8 is where it started going off the deep end and now we're at windows 11, where literally every change you're making is causing more and more people to teach themselves how to use linux.
And now to salt the wound, you fuckers are blocking people from using third party apps to make their systems work the way they want them to.
That's how you're choosing to compete with apple? to make your OS as shitty as possible? To take as much control away from the customer as possible? Are you sure that's the hill you want to die on? ...Okay. Your funeral.
I don't understand why microsoft "felt pressure" at all.
People loved windows 7 and hated windows 8. But they kept doing more of what the customers hated over and over, and now they're blocking people from using the work-arounds that make their systems usable for them.
How to check if it's working? ipleak(dot)net is very helpful for checking that.
use it to check if your VPN is leaking DNS traffic whenever you swap proxies, almost zero VPN providers leak DNS traffic when connected, but almost all of them leak DNS traffic whenever you swap proxies.
Proton is one that doesn't leak...at least not on desktop.
It CAN leak DNS traffic sometimes on some mobile OSs
