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.

You keep saying linking a Google account, but nowhere do I see that happening. Setting up a mail forward is not in any way linking anything.

  It wants you to link accounts so Proton can automatically setup mail forwarding for you.
