I don’t even mind ads that much, for me it’s more about the algorithms that push certain agendas and are not open source (for ads and content alike)

Proton is still a great product… easy to switch away from Google, especially if you don’t have the time to self host or manage the complexity of 5 different services. I am aware of recent discussion, and have decided for myself that overreacting is not necessary, though that’s up to you :)
