recently started with GPG Mail Extension for MacOS https://gpgtools.com/ as a maybe Protonmail substitute. it’s awesome, but sadly almost no one uses PGP :) using the extension to my surprise i noticed Apple signs their emails! happy someone is showing the way lol. (btw Protonmail supports PGP natively)
