Is there anything unsavory about ProtonMail? (beehaw.org)

For some reason I have it in the back of my mind that they were at one point accused of being a honeypot for US intelligence because of their association with MIT. Probably complete BS, but maybe not. Are they as open source as they claim to be? Looks like they're on github. F-Droid seems to think they have some Google libraries or whatever that they use.

ProtonMail users, how do you like/dislike it?

I can't get contact photos to display on PM. Tuta doesn't have this feature at all, but the fact that PM appears to, but doesn't work; well, it shouldn't, but little things like that drive me crazy.

Funnily enough, I don't know that I've ever even paid attention to contact photos (not that 99% of the people I email have would have them anyways.)
