How? Where is that money coming from.

So here's the deal: you pay me out and in return you'll stop tracking me.
That's why Pichai tries to kill off anything that threatens its bottom line, such as ending Manifest V2 support for Chrome addons like uBlock Origin.
What is the color code on that page supposed to convey?
I just clicked on "browsers" and found no explanation nor pattern on the color code.
And no: I won't search for it, this is critique with a question mark not genuine need for answer.
The "warning red" is supposed to mirror the brand color?
Because then it would need to be the same color ass the icons. This way it looks like a signal color on top.
I e. This one, informiak mail is something I clearly should not touch, without ever having heard of them.

For me: paragraph shapes and colors convey meaning. It's as if someone chose to have a red exclamation mark ‼️ as their logo and uses it inline.
Without knowing what it is it looks like a call to action.
Many of these comparison images and pages use color coding to quickly convey information. So I searched for meaning that wasn't there .. .
In short l: my brain sees "red" and searched what I was warned against.
thats more money than I made last year so...
"Proton analyzed 54,000 profiles..."
"...We cannot scan emails, build a profile, or sell access to your attention."
How did they get the 54,000 profiles?
'Proton analyzed over 54,000 demographic profiles using 2025 ad auction data to estimate what advertisers pay to reach different types of Americans. The range is much wider than you might expect." At least read the first Paragraph before asking.
I read the whole article but it doesn't explain what "ad auction data" means.
There's basically a marketplace where people who want to sell things bid on advertisement locations. So you may say, "I want to spam 10000 people who have school age children", and you have to compete with other businesses who want to spam the same people.
While the details are of course proprietary, presumably some data has to be made available to the companies buying ads. So I guess that is what Proton looked at.
