Only using this extension because Proton's actual native software pipeline on Arch-based distros is an unmitigated mess. The standalone protonvpn-cli is essentially abandoned to Python dependency rot, and the official GTK desktop app crashes on startup over basic package mismatches like pydantic-core. Having to downgrade a paid system-wide VPN down to a basic browser addon just to get a functional connection on an Arch-based system is ridiculous.

EDIT: The details are already in the review. The issue isn't my desktop environment; it's that Proton's native Linux app stack relies on uncontainerized, unpinned Python site-packages that break on modern Python 3.14 runtimes. Stop asking for screenshots of known upstream packaging failures and pin your dependencies so rolling-release users don't have to rely on Proton's browser proxy.
