That and not being shown ads in my damn inbox is what lead me to the hunt for a better provider than Gmail. Another I just remembered about Proton that I didn't care for (and there may be a way to opt out) is the amount of promotional notifications/emails I'd get for their other services. Not as bad as NordVPN, but then again I don't think anyone is as bad as them regarding self-promotion. I'm happy to pay for a service if it means retaining some more privacy but mostly get rid of ads but the constant need to upsell was getting to me.
