I hated it so much I migrated to ProtonPass, deleted my data, and set my account to expire. Then Proton CEO made some statements I found offensive, so I re-activated my Bitwarden account, migrated back, and am now learning to love the changes. The best I've got for tips are: 1. Settings > Appearance > Quick Copy 2. Settings > Appearance > Compact Mode 3. Settings > Appearance > Extension Width > Wide I still don't love it, but it remains the best of the bunch.

I searched but for the life of me can’t find what “Fash” is, and boy am I curious (as somewhat of a Proton fanboi).

  Fascist. I'm very surprised a search didn't turn this up for you, or you're not asking in good faith.

    I use ddg with country set to Netherlands, fash turns up many things, fascist is not among them.

    But he's a Republican. Why would a Google search for "fash" clear that up?

      I just ddged for “fash”, I mean labeling the CEO of Proton no less, an org that does so much good, that has such a nice vision, can shield people from their state because they believe in their right to privacy. To label such a person a fascist is just unimaginable to me. I find it shocking that so many people just use this super small thing to judge Andy Yen. I’m really shocked. How dare these people put such opinions online? It’s so “140 chars” to define a person. It’s what’s wrong with the internet these days.

  Fash is short for fascist. Just going off of the latest news, maybe he came out in defense of Musk or just tweeted in favor of Trump?

I'm assuming they meant fascist because the CEO is a republican. As a non-American, it's not my problem but I can see why people would want to distance themselves

    Wow republicans are now called fascist? Idk I always thought Schwarzenegger was such a nice example, wise, gentle, kind, funny and republican. Not loving the Trump, sure, but to say such a thing based on how someone votes, man you’re falling low. Edit ok read the X post, man you guys are losing it if you call that fascist. So divided, you can be either black or white. I feel sorry for you. Say one thing good about Trump and you’re a fascist, just pretend that all he does is bad. There is no more way of looking at it objectively. No wonder you are so divided over there. I really would stop watching the news. Half your country voted for him. What does it say about you that you view half your country as fascists?

      It's probably less about viewing Trump as a fascist and more being afraid of being grouped in with Trump supporters by your in-group. It's a really divided country and there are circles where you could be outed even for expressing neutrality. Again, I am not American, and would rather avoid the mess that is their politics

    But, that is a good thing right? I don’t get it, we want anti trust laws right? Democrats as well I assumed? I actually thought they were more of a democrat thing tbh, but now that the republicans want them they are bad? I don’t get it anymore.

      Antitrust enforcement, sure, it's a good thing. Pretending that Republicans are better than Democrats in that sense, is not that great. Especially after who attended the inauguration, it's very naive to hope that they will solve "Big Tech abuses" in any way.
