After their shameless Synology shilling a couple of weeks ago, today Techlore is trying to sell me Proton Pass.
Is Proton Pass a bad password manager? I don’t know. It seems okay, but I have no opinion.
What I do know is that Techlore is affiliated with Proton, which makes their newest 10-minute video - in which they reveal the affiliation only at the last minute - 10 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Unfortunately, In the business they’re in, the merest hint of a bias kind of invalidates any advice they give. As the saying goes, when you point out other people’s body odor, you’d better make sure you took a shower yourself.

No he didn’t, this is misinformation. Henry from Techlore explained that he was switching back to stock Android, mainly to take advantage of the Google Advanced Protection Program. The description of the video literally reads:
In the final section of the video he very clearly explains that this is his personal choice and that he is NOT recommending people copy him. He said this is an objectively bad decision for some threat models and that he was only doing it to get ahead of the curve when it came to potential security issues in the future.
