It does lack a few features though, as they rely on proprietary software/libraries. Android Auto for instace, as well as ANT+ for connecting sensors. At least for those features you need the Google Play version.

1·2 years agoYou need to be unplugged for 12 consecutive months for Proton to delete your account because of inactivity though, which seems fair for free tier accounts. A simple login is enough to prevent this, you do not need to send an email or whatever, simply log in once a year. You also get reminders sent to your recovery email before this happens. Data storage for inactive free tier accounts isn’t free for Proton.
2·2 years agoI believe you’re right. However, if memory serves, the ads did change occasionally, meaning the screen had to refresh, leading to increased battery usage.
I just sent them a message asking them to disable the ads on the kindle I had recently purchased, and they did so for free, no root needed. That was a few years ago though, so I doubt they do that anymore…
Any particular OS? For Android I use Broccoli, and I think it does a good job out of the box. You can share the URL of a webpage with a recipe to that app, and it will try to extract the ingredients, steps, serving etc. from the website :)
