Anyone know any way to check if messages between #Protonmail users are really end-to-end encrypted? Critics said it is possible only in their #mobile app and not when one or both parties use #web interface. Is it true? I am looking for a way to experimentally check this 🤔

#email #e2ee #encryption #privacy #security #gpg

Well usually the burden of proof is on the critic but if you wanted to experimentally verify that I'd suggest pressing F12 and seeing network requests when you send an e-mail through the web interface. If you see encrypted e-mail then it’s end-to-end encrypted. If you see plaintext then it isn’t.

@wiktor @madargon Wow! I should try that. Thanks. 😃
