I second this proposal. I love the Proton suite, but overall, it remains a very nerdy brand, and the privacy gains sometimes feel theoretical.
Due to the extra effort, most people will never switch their mail account to Proton. The same goes for VPN: "browsing privately" means nothing if cookies continue collecting data about me in the background. "OMG, guys, my IPS can no longer see my DNS lookup when I turn on the VPN" 🤓🤓.
Proton Pass is a step in the right direction, adding further layers between me and entities seeking to profile me. I am actively using the email aliases for all new signups and changing old ones. But again, this is just me being an absolute nerd/ technical person who approaches privacy more like a hobby.
I think something along OP's original proposal is the right step: more 'real' privacy. I find incogni.com and similar enticing. Something like it would add to the Proton brand. It would be a funnel for people, inspiring them to delve more into privacy and other Proton products.
