From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Firefox was first
oh ok, didn't know. still, all I wanted to say is it's a cool feature. and Proton has up to 10, firefox up to 5 I think.
iCloud+ has this too. 50 seems to be the limit.
is that free?
Like as in beer? No. Or free as in freedom? Also no.
However, iCloud will give you a large amount of the feature set for a fraction of the price (starts at $0.99/mo) and will likely give privacy not too far from what Proton gives you.
In the end, there’s always a risk with putting any information on the web.
