    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.

            Again ‘a regular basis’? It’s annual. On their Black Friday sale. A regular interval? Yes, sure. But regular basis is misleading, and hyperbolic.

              It is not annual, I get several ads throughout the year in various locations, as I said previously.

                I think some years they run a second sale during the year. Don’t recall when. That might rotate even.

                Getting it on multiple devices once or twice a year isn’t Several. Again, unreasonable hyperbole and over reacting. This is such a small thing you’re getting very worked up over.

                I mentioned before BofA does a full page add for first time you login each day! What Proton’s doing is closer to zero ads, than “several on a regular basis”.

                  It is, by definition, but without getting caught up in semantics, it is not “once or twice a year”. This is the third time I’m saying this. If you want to keep on with the strawman debates, you can do it on your own, because I’m not going to entertain them further.

                  This is such a small thing you’re getting very worked up over.

                  I don’t know what makes you think I’m getting “very worked up”. I just said it’s the worst thing about Proton, who is otherwise pretty great overall.

                  I mentioned before BofA dose a full page add for first time you login each day!

                  I don’t know what your point is here. Other companies being dogshit doesn’t make incessant advertising any more acceptable.

                    I’m not strawmaning you. I’m flatly saying you’re wrong. I’m saying it’s not as often as you’re protraying. That your inflating the severity of the problem. Again you said “incessant” when you already pointed out it doesn’t happen often enough to fit that characterization.
