          Interesting. When I only paid for one service, I would see the occasional upgrade offer in other services. But not with Unlimited. There’s not much to up-sell you on when you’re already on unlimited except Duo or Family. So not much incentive to display ads.

            There’s a giant ad literally every time I open the settings menu, “recommending” that I upgrade to Duo, even though I’m the only person I know who uses Proton. Unfortunately I have to use the shitty settings menu nearly every day because there’s no convenient way to block domains.

            There’s also a “BLACK FRIDAY SALE” ad at the top right. Right now.

              If you close it. You won’t see it again. Just a little button at the upper right of the page while the sale is on.

                There’s no way to close the ads in the settings menu. The banner? Sure, until the next advertising campaign. Dismissing ads is not a satisfactory solution. Just don’t fucking send them.

                  I have done a lot to virtually eliminate all ads in my life.
                  But you’re being a little more than a little unreasonable here.

                    I can only strongly disagree. It is not even a little bit unreasonable to pay for a premium service and not expect to be pestered on a regular basis with advertising to upgrade to a higher tier.

      Unlimited user here, only ad ive seen from them is the updated icon on the app store that is too small to read. Beyond that, didnt even know they were doing a sale untill a colleague of mine brought it up.
