    Fantastic, wish they prioritised stuff like this instead of AI but at least it’s here now. Now please make a dedicated contacts app so I can stop using Google contacts too!

      Yeah, I also was disappointed that proton wallet was for crypto and not credit cards. Unless someone can recommend an alternative to Google wallet, preferably from F-Droid

        Google Wallet is not so much a “wallet” for your cards but a way to link your cards to their own payment service, Google Pay.

        Both Apple and Google had a lot of problems convincing banks to accept their respective services, and even then many stores still don’t support this payment method. A company with the clout and size of Proton has no chance to get their own service widely accepted.

        The FSF (and RMS himself) wanted an alternative for online payments for ages, without crypto. An anonymous buffer layer between your payment method, like a credit card, and the vendor. I believe something was eventually released but it never took off, because unlike something like a NFC Wallet, vendors would have to natively support GNU’s version.
