Well at the moment it's marked as planned meaning that they will at some point make an official addon/extension for browsers. At the moment they're working on other things but they will get around to this eventually. Just remember ProtonMail is being developed by a small team so progress may not be a quick as other providers.
I do believe however this deserves extra priority and should also be compatible with browsers such as Opera as well as Firefox and Chrome.

Personally I make use of the .ch domain and I prefer it. I do not live in Switzerland either but there is an option to change your domain in the settings if that has not been mentioned already.
Even though one of the comments is quite crude i would like to say that i personally agree with it. A .Com domain is very commonly used and when handing in your email to employers they do take note of your email address and seeing a different domain to .Com .Net or .Co.uk or any of the common domains does intrigue them.
Spam:
ProtonMail is fantastic for filtering spam. Seeing a .Ch domain is rare and therefore are not typically listed in Spam based servers therefore the likelhood of receiving spam from that server is going to be a lot lower compared to having domains such as .com or .net.
Still not convinced? Now we talk about phishing and malware:
The way malware and phishing works is by email. They target emails that have the .com domain.
Why? Because it's the most common and most used domain on the net!
By using a .ch domain you decrease the likelyhood of receiving these emails unless you're directly being targeted or signing up to dodgy websites i can almost guarentee you that you will NEVER receive such emails. The same cannot be said for .Com domains which is something other providers use.
To put this short. A .com domain may compromise your account's security and your own personal security. So i'd think very carefully as to whether you want to keep it or not, a small convenience over security or more security over a slight/minimal inconvenience?
Your choice but note that it will affect us all and not all of us will be happy with your decision regardless but over the longer run the .ch domain will be of benefit in more ways than you think.
