I guess their new free plan changes means they force you into linking your account with Google, make you spam done on a million websites as they try to make you change the email associated with them and to use their mobile app.

If you don’t do these things you lose your free data allowance!
And as a paid user it’s even more annoying shit to deal with when visiting your inbox!

The best part? Doesn’t even allow you to dismiss it.

Why does Proton keep making the UX worse and they are getting more aggressive.

    Would this just be the screen when you don’t have any emails, or does it pop up on top of the emails? It’s a bit hard to read on the gif because it keeps moving

    If it blocks you from doing things, then that’s bad. If it’s just the “you don’t have any emails, this is how you can get started”, then I don’t really see the problem.

    Likely more users would want to see the options listed there, and people that don’t want to link it can just ignore it till an email comes in. I’m assuming it disappears when emails come in

      Sorry, was showcasing how its bugged and I can’t get rid of it (I never manage to click X, it just goes comes back to middle after a second regardless of what I do). If you have emails, it turns into that tiny version on the side, but again just randomly disappears, I managed to click X on it, but it came back again. Regardless of whether or not Proton should be doing this, the implementation is not robust and is broken for me.
