Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.
Windows is phasing out the built in mail app which is basic but decent…forcing “upgrade” to Outlook which has ads if you’re not a paid user.
This is why I switched.
I started getting this with the new outlook. Rolled back and they vanished.
This is why, if you need to use gmail, you never use the official app. Just use a different client, anf you at least bypass this specific bullshit
I don't use any of the default Gmail apps. Not because of ads, but because, if your email is too long, Google will truncate it and make you click to a new page to read the whole thing. I found Edison Mail on Android works acceptably. And in Firefox I use an addon called Notifier for Gmail. But I've seen recently that N for G might stop working sometime soon.
I just checked my Gmail. I did not see a single ad in my inbox. Stop lying OP
