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?

Everything has dark mode

As far as I can tell, the Linux desktop client doesn't have it yet, but has been promised.

EDIT: Ok, duh, on Linux Mint under System Settings>Themes>Settings>Miscellaneous Options, Dark Mode I selected "Prefer Dark" and voila: Dark. Proton's the only app I have that that setting seems to have any effect on . . .

I use it every day and I can tell you with great certainty that it does

Could you tell me where the setting is? I haven't been able to find it.

It seems to be missing from the official app. But I believe it is an account-wide setting. So log into your web interface and change it from there and it should reflect on the app.
