I'm surprised to see this on Hacker News as I kind of expect that the NH crowd is more knowledgable than the general audience and this article is a little shallow.

I for instance know E2EE pretty well but I'm not too familiar with how it is done with main. Notably, the article kind of skips over how Bob got Alice's public key in the first place. How does Proton handle this part?

I would like to see something a little deeper here.

I would say it is on Hacker News for this very reason! Pure ridicule!

Except for the ones complaining about IP logging and such I don't see them as particular "ridicule"... my post for example was not meant to say it's a bad article, just that I expect something more deep for this particular audience.
