How sure are we that this isn't going to go down like Lavabit did?

protonmail is basicaly a botnet
>>
It's hosted in Switzerland, so that probably counts for something.

It's not located in the USA.

How Protonmail is better than your average Botnetmail + GPG? It's encryption is pointless if you're sending or recieveing email to/from non-Protonmail services. And if encryption is done on client but in your browser by their software, where's the guarantee that their client won't leak your information when needed?

even if it's a botnet it's still the best email, and it most likely isn't a botnet

Because based Switzerland.
Just got my account. Bretty happy :DDDDDD

How about its own sustainability? Is it profitable enough on its own to last as long as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo have?

The entire concept of encrypted email is a farce to begin with, so why would you bother?

The protocol is fundamentally broken, and you'll never get true end to end encryption for any emails that go outside their network. Worthless.

it feels good when you think that your emails are stored somewhere in deep Swiss' alps and not in some McDonald's warehouse

Switzerland still complies to US/EU court orders by law enforcement cooperation. Their privacy laws aren't that much better.
