The idea that anyone would ever want to be notified of open wifi networks is bizarre to me. Wherever I go there will be hundreds or thousands of such networks.

The idea that anyone would ever want to be notified of open wifi networks is bizarre to me. Wherever I go there will be hundreds or thousands of such networks. This might have made sense in 2001 when wifi was novel and rare, but it makes no sense today.
- izacus 11y agoOpen wifi notification can be easily disabled in wifi settings since android 4.0. He's talking about the captcha login prompt (which on iOS was even more annoying because it opens modal window immediately).
- thrownaway2424 11y agoYeah but he's not talking about that, right? The captive portal stuff only pops up if you actually joined the network. Does his phone automatically try to join open wifi networks?
