Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.
Wait so Google is putting ads in its services now?
WHY UNIVERSE WHY
Apparently hotmail/Microsoft does the same
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
That's not how that works. Products that big don't have features (or “features”) rolled out universally. They do things per county, per demographic, or to random groups first, to have data on how it affects usage.
Only if they're happy with the results (or management overrides the rational decision process) they'll introduce things globally.
A community for those that would like to get away from Google.
Here you may post anything related to DeGoogling, why we should do it or good software alternatives!
