Comments and Reviews
Mailvelope is a great addon for your Chrome Browser if you are concerned with your email provider, or anyone else for that matter, reading or data mining your emails. Encrypts all the content so only you and the intended recipient(s) can read it. An excellent tool everyone should be using.
You "trust" provider to generate your private key, it's password, and the mode of encryption. Your site password has no correlation to the encryption.
ZERO TRUST encryption
AVOID
Very complicated to use, despite their claims otherwise. Proton Mail is much easier. You just give the recipient the password via another method other than email (text, Signal, Whats App, phone call, etc).
