Use this tool to debloat your windows: https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla , also, I heard that setting your region as English (International) during installation comes with less bloat-ware installed?


Also, lookup tutorials on how to Dual Boot.

Just heads up for linux (and those not aware I guess)

ProtonVPN app itself (on windows) has the same banner deal as well, but it links to a deal that is unlimited for individual (Not family!). So deal isnt exclusive to family edition only.

Not sure why its not displayed on their web apps. Or maybe im blind and I missed it, :P

IMO, my biggest concern is sustainability for Proton.

Focusing on cool, new products over current products is probably going to be unsustainable in the long run. If it isn’t economically sustainable, I fear they might give up on privacy-related features just to make some cash. (Just like Mozilla and Google)

Or worse, they might be forced to shut down some services, which is completely backwards and undesirable…

For myself, mostly using KeePassXC. ProtonPass exists just as a backup for extremely important accounts, in the event where I somehow lost all of my KeePass files stored on all my devices lol.

That said, I do agree that Bitwarden (or most other clients) is probably way superior than ProtonPass itself. I do wish that they had focused on improving their other applications (Mail, Drive. VPN), rather than try to compete in the password manager space…

Think the problem was, auto-saved accounts was put into a non-personal vault, and since I had a free account, I couldn’t edit any login outside of the personal vault.

The edit button appeared for me on every account, after I got the 1-year free subscription from their current promotion. (From here)
