Proton should've used a standard protocol and put their encryption on top of it in a separate layer to make it comlatible with other software

That's a hacky approach ngl. Security would've left the chat the exact moment they had a thought about doing that in their heads. Proton is a known company. Imo developing their own protocol is a good decision if they can't make the existing one work properly at all.
