proton requires them to use their software and adds a footer with protonmail ads to all of your emails without an option to disable it without paying up
yes but they shouldn't be hiding that fact deep in the settings
also I don't care about encryption and stuff if it prevents me from using my favorite mail client without installing their bridge software
Ads are harmless. The harmful things is JavaScript.
And their software doesn't even have an option to display HTML messages as it is plain text messages.
by software i mean the imap bridge, but i agree that the official client is pretty bad too
