How can we improve Proton VPN?

← Proton VPN

Add Settings toggle to disable pop up promotional ads from Proton (e.g., Black Friday promo)

As a paid Proton subscriber, when I open Proton VPN I am receiving a pop up modal advertising Proton promotions, such as the Black Friday 2024 deals. I can close the pop up, but it will reappear from time to time. I believe it is hostile to the user experience to not give us the option to opt out of annoying advertisements.

Please add a Settings toggle in the application that will enable users to disable pop up promotions from Proton.

User Acceptance Criteria:
Given I am a paid subscriber of Proton,
When I open the "Proton VPN" application Settings,
Then I should have an option to toggle a "Disable promotional Proton advertisements" setting.

    I agree that paid users should have more control over promotional pop-ups, especially when they appear repeatedly inside a service they already subscribe to. A simple setting to disable promotional ads would improve the user experience while still allowing users to manage how they receive marketing messages. For businesses, respectful and targeted advertising is often more effective than repeatedly interrupting the customer experience, whether through in-app promotions or campaigns designed to advertise in Hong Kong. https://www.advertise.hk/advertise-in-hong-kong

    I agree that paid users should have more control over promotional pop-ups and notification preferences. A simple settings toggle would improve the overall experience. For clear SASSA appeal guidance, you can also visit https://sassaappealonline.co.za/.

    I agree. Today I see the "end of summer sale" advert at the top of Proton mail as well. I'm paying and don't want any adverts! I'm already paying for Duo and don't want adverts!

    I noticed this being discussed in the Proton community on Lemmy.
