They've actually ran adverts at the border of sweden telling politicians and alike that were going there to vote on IIRC ChatControl to vote against it

Yes, in large public channels there can sometimes be ads. These used to be contextual, but they aren't anymore.

TGFOSS doesn't remove ads. Infact, by the API policies you aren't allowed to do that as a client maintainer.

Killergram for Android, assuming you've either got a rooted device or LSPatch.

The idea is quite simple. If you put all your eggs into one basket, if that basket breaks, you're screwed.

If we put this into context, this would mean that you would, for example, use all of Proton's services and when Proton does something bad, now your entire suite of services is fucked.
