It really saddens me they changed their domain to proton.me it looks so wildly unprofessional and spammy while protonmail.com looked professional and even futuristic/scientific. Such a bizarre decision especially since everything else they do is so great
Yeah but if you go to protonmail.com it redirects you to proton.me and they also have the @proton.me domains be the default on sign up which means like 90% of users will be making proton.me email addresses
Its a small issue but it really irks me because otherwise its a great service/company with really well designed apps and websites. I just feel they diminished their brand so much with this. What company ever uses a .me domain? Especially when they have a really nice .com
Heres hoping the malaysian car (insurance?) company changes their name and decides to sell the proton.com domain to them lol
It makes perfect sense to redirect to proton.me now that they offer a suite of services. It would hardly make sense for all of google’s services to be under gmail.com as an example.

So I was curious and I just checked their sign up process. You can choose between @proton.me and @protonmail.com.

They got the me domain originally for pm.me and probably just continued it with proton.me. Love my pm.me email
Same!

They are a lot cheaper. Maybe they didn’t want to pay for an expensive .com domain. The prices can be nuts, but usually only for short named ones.
