Flatpak sandboxing is critical to a secure future of Linux, as well as the cornerstone of various immutable distros.
I hope Proton reconsiders and starts supporting Flatpaks, proposing portals where needed.

There was a relevant Reddit discussion on this, which I'm reposting here:
---
HatBoxUnworn:
Will this eventually be distributed as a flatpak?
Adding your remote has been a terrible experience. After I updated to Fedora 38, your remote broke updates for my system for weeks before I was able to track down the problem.

Proton team member:
Hey u/HatBoxUnworn, there are no plans for now. One of the downsides of this is how flatpaks works. The nature of flatpaks is to run in a sand-box mode, thus if we need escalated privileges say for a Kill Switch implementation that manipulates the firewall via nftables, we won't be able to do that because Flatpak don't allow privilege escalation, due to it's nature.
As a side-note, there was an unofficial package uploaded by a user, and that one is working mainly because currently our app uses NM, which does not require escalated privileges since all we do is communicate with NM.

enjoyingfoss:
Wouldn't the best approach here be to work within the confines of the sandbox (as the unofficial Flatpak does now), and if extra functionality is needed and not implemented via portals yet, to propose those portals via the official Flatpak channels?
That would:
1. make ProtonVPN much easier to use on immutable distros (e.g. Steam OS)
2. support better security models on Linux
3. fill in gaps in Flatpak portals where there are needs for it
4. allow you to push timely updates across all Linux distros
5. make testing and distribution on all Linux distros much easier in the long run

Unfortunately, no official reply to that last message. :(

Would personally love to see Proton services integrated into GNOME Online Accounts in the future.
I imagine integrating with the Linux bridge would be a start.

This should be in the mobile apps, at the very least

What's wrong with plain old Firefox? It has tracking protection built in.
Now ProtonPass is embedding Youtube videos directly in its onboarding process 🤦
