I just use spamgourmet.com. Infinite free disposable addresses, and I switched it from directing to gmail to ProtonMail in 5 seconds when I switched services without having to give anyone a new address.
I'm not sure if this messes with end to end encryption, but I don't know anyone else that uses ProtonMail anyway, and I would just give those people my real address.
If Proton added disposable addresses, I doubt I would bother using them over SpamGourmet anyway.

Hi everyone,
For our thoughts on Monero, check out our Bitcoin deep dive with Seth on the latest Opt Out podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUGJje2jvck

A lot of people have commented here on Monero's transaction fees, but the comments are from January when there was a huge spike across the board. The median transaction fee for the last 100 Monero transactions was 24 cents. That's compared to $3.54 for Bitcoin, which is already accepted, and isn't anonymous. Monero is a no-brainer.

One thing to consider is that fingerprints are actually LESS secure in some ways. Nobody can force you to tell them your pin, but they can definitely knock you out and use your fingerprint to unlock your phone, email, bank accounts, etc.
There should definitely be some though put into WHEN a fingerprint is an acceptable authentication. I'd definitely require the PIN after a reboot, at a minimum.

I don't have a ton of email in my archive yet, but so far Proton seems massively faster than google's Inbox app. I'm always in favor of optimization, but I just don't see any need for it yet.
About Laurent's post, I guess it depends on your use case. If you're looking to give a disposable address to, say, Target? That's not going to be encrypted no matter what, and I would assume Target has already sold everything they can about me, so I have no expectation of privacy there. Add on the other hundred similar companies. Those are what I want disposable addresses for. I don't really have a need to give a disposable address to someone who also uses ProtonMail, and can be encrypted, but I'm sure others do.
Spamgourmet says they're supported mostly by donations, and that they don't keep any of the email they forward, but I suppose you'd have to trust them.
Allowing more control over sending from addresses in your own domain sounds like a reasonable solution if you want to trust only one company. Plus there'd be no worry of limits with the number of aliases. Plus you can take your domain with you if you have to. That sounds like a pretty good solution, actually. All Proton would have to do is allow you to reply from whatever email the catch-all was sent to, and maybe allow blacklisting and whitelisting of what comes through that domain, just to make the solution less manual filter heavy. Then you can give CitiBank "citi@mydomain.com" and everything will just work. If end to end encryption works with custom domains, that seems like the ideal solution.
