With how shoddy the VPN has been over the last year or so (especially now that both mobile apps are equally shitty with enshitification and feature reduction) amongst other Proton blunders, 2025 looks to be the last year I'm a paying user; just the VPN alone is enough to push me to adopt the UNIX philosophy towards other services, where I use one good product for one purpose.
The filter and folder system I have set up (identical to the former/current(?) Gmail smart categories) is the only reason to justify continued payment, and even THAT barely works anymore.
