I don't think removing protonmail is the correct solution.
This is a list of email providers that facilitate temporary email addresses. So adding outlook and Apple to that list makea more sense to me?
But inclusion of Proton domains makes many Proton users to be unable to register on websites. It is only helping google to keep monopoly and it is simply privacy harming
The list that the repo maintains is for services that can provide burner or anonymous emails.
You can sign up for Proton Mail anonymously, as demonstrated by a frequent contributor to that repo in issue #414.
Therefore, it seems appropriate for it to be on that list, as annoying as that is.
I'd hope that site providers wouldn't just summarily ban any domains on that list but I understand why they may take that shortcut to reduce spam/abuse if they don't have adequate resources to handle it other ways.
You can sign up on Outlook anonymously too. Look video in this comment
Yes, that's why I proposed to add Outlook to the list too?
Mozilla provides a similar service I believe?
Yes. Aliases is not disposable mails. Moreover SimpleLogin (Proton aliasing service) forbids to use it as disposable in ToS
That video doesn't seem to have actually fully completed the registration process at Outlook though.
You can try by yourself (without “grey” ip)
