I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

Run.

ProtonPass is run by a non-profit if you have to move to another hosted solution.

Otherwise there's multiple self-hostable options, including plain file sync options.

Use this example as learning experience that the type of the firm you're buying a service from is very important as it changes whose interests it puts first, second and last.

My health insurer is a non-profit but they're still a bag of money hungry dicks.

Non-profits do not always remain non-profits, and can become for-profit entities. Being a non-profit is not a reason to move to proton IMO, but Proton should be a decent temporary option if Bitwarden becomes aggressive to the open-source ecosystem.
