Protonmail isn't webmail, it's a web based email client just like Gmail, but with some significant improvements. If you can use Gmail on a browser, you can use Protonmail on the same browser. I heard about it in an article on Internet privacy in the New York Times. For use by us mortals, for sure.
Hi, using Protonmail here (full disclosure: I am a paying customer, no other interest/involvement whatsoever in Protonmail), the web interface requires javascript for login. There is a "bridge" feature available to paid users (in beta for Linux) [1] which can be used to get full end-to-end encryption with various mail clients (like Thunderbird) [2]. I don't think it fits the OP goals, but aside from that it is a very good encrypted email provider IMHO. As you can see I find gmail also perfect for publicly available mailing lists like this one, or various "garbage" grade mail subscriptions, I'd rather have them handle the spam than me...
