I keep hearing bad stuff about proton, but I don’t really get most of it. Could someone please explain all of the controversy to me. Lastly, what are the best alternatives to all of their services?

It would be nice if their home page showed anything about anyhting, like about what they do and who they are instead of redirecting to a completely sterile login page.

This is their Homepage, there you find all info. The other I posted was the Page for the workspace. Murena is a whole infrastructure of services, hard- and software. all privacy centred, green energy, collaborations from third party in Murena are NextCloud (Germany), for the Cloud service and FairPhone (Netherland). All services are OpenSource, nothing shady in it.

They don't let you delete the map, which is closed.source. I've not had an issue with it though. I didn't delete it because it shows traffic congestion. I'm about to replace with CoMaps since I don't turn location on anyways.

My only other complaint is tye browser they also will not let you remove. I'm getting rid of it soon. They never update it, so I do not trust it.

Ah, that is much better, thank you! Strange I haven't heard of them before.
