Tired of Big Tech? This is the Black Friday deal you should get

Helping people cut ties with data-hungry Big Tech apps has been at the core of Proton’s mission since the beginning. From a privacy-focused alternative to Gmail, ProtonMail, the Switzerland-based provider has grown to offer one of the best VPN apps, a password manager, encrypted cloud storage, a calendar, and even a document tool.

While all Proton tools come with a generous free plan, you should opt for the paid subscription to experience its full power and actually say goodbye to Google for good. However, a Proton Ultimate plan certainly isn’t cheap – at least for now.
