Remove the .ch domain
All accounts ProtonMail bring by default the domain .ch and .com
We don't all live in Switzerland
So we don't want to have there the domain .ch

If you like the domain user@protonmail.ch use it and do not spoil the ideas of others
Don't like me and I prefer user@protonmail.com
So a function to eliminate it would be ideal because I don't want to have an alias with user@protonmail.ch that I'm never going to use
Everyone that see if you delete it or not

Absolutely support, Thinking Person. All your statements.
By the way, I am using .ch domain as well and have no intention in using .com. -

Actually, it is better not to have that possibility. It has happened to me (with another provider, which I have long abandoned) that I received mail that was not meant for me, precisely because the sender had mixed up the top domains.
Perhaps it is for that reason that several providers, like Yahoo, do not allow user@yahoo.com to exist if there already is a user@yahoo.fr, or user@yahoo.es, etc.

As Anonymous said: you don't need to use .ch, just choose your preferred address in the settings.
I don't live in Switzerland either, *BUT* I use the .ch address all the time, because:
(1) Somewhere in the FAQ I read the remark that there was a concern that US authorities might be able to confiscate mailboxes that have a .com ending. Even though we have thoroughly encrypted mailboxes here, I don't even want the remote possibility that some other government, through some legal technicality, is allowed to lay their hands on my stuff. They should stay away, for good, forever.
(2) .ch is a political statement! By using a .ch address, though I do not live in Switzerland, I'm telling the world that I admire the Swiss for their seriousness in safeguarding privacy and human rights in general (e.g., freedom of the press too). This is also the reason, as we all can read in the FAQ, why the Protonmail servers are in Switzerland.
I greatly respect the Swiss for their attitude, and so I have never used my protonmail.com address, but always protonmail.ch.
I wouldn't mind if some other top domain would be added (.org, .net or whatever), but I think the .ch must be kept as an option.

Indeed, anonymous.
But it is annoying to have a useless alias as user@protonmail.ch I'm never going to use
More people with the same user name can be registered Additionally with separate domains
For example a person from Switzerland: user@protonmail.ch and a person in Spain: user@protonmail.com

It looks to me as a very strange request.
You have a choice to switch it to *@protonmail.com in the Settings -> Aliases ; then it will be always shown as *@protonmail.com and not as *@protonmail.ch -

This is very necessary
