Web, Firefox. Happens in the desktop app too (which I dont currently see the point of? It's just an electron app with no extra functionality vs the webpage?)

Sorry, was showcasing how its bugged and I can't get rid of it (I never manage to click X, it just goes comes back to middle after a second regardless of what I do). If you have emails, it turns into that tiny version on the side, but again just randomly disappears, I managed to click X on it, but it came back again. Regardless of whether or not Proton should be doing this, the implementation is not robust and is broken for me.

Seems bugged. I assume it shouldn't even be appearing for paid accounts. And the linking a Google account shouldn't even be a thing at all.

Nope, it just tells you some basic privacy info, wants you to link a Google account, wants you to change your account emails for different services (you have to click done on them all) and wants you to login on their mobile app.
It seems like this was their plan for adding the extra 5GB storage to free accounts, which I think is fair, if you are not forced to link a Google account, that's the worst offender here. It appears massively bugged though and probably should not be appearing on paid accounts at all.

Yeah, perhaps the video doesn't showcase it, but it actually just comes back after a second, regardless of if I move my mouse or not.

No it doesn't, it just sits on the screen, if you have emails there it goes to that corner, then disappears after a second. It just jumps around appearing/disappearing as I go through stuff. Very annoying, but not actually blocking functionality.

This is on a paid account, that's what's more disgusting. Maybe just a huge error on their end, but I still don't believe this is a good way to get business from their free accounts. Wanting people to link their account to a Google account when the goal and marketing is privacy??

No, this is an existing account with Proton Unlimited.

I never managed to click the X once.

If I have to contact support to do any mundane change to an account, my email usually begins with 'Delete my account'.

Oh man I can see me putting some hours into this on Steam Deck!

Yes MKBHD is the same. Just loads of shill content to keep brands happy.

They just throw out any random shit and people click and watch it. LTTs quality dropped years ago when they got too big. It's about views now, not respectable content.
