Use HTTPS when it is available
- Washuu 10y agoUnfortunately when hitting a data limit that causes these Comcast pop ups it breaks HTTPS connections. The only way to regain internet access is to visit a HTTP site such as example.com to get the pop up.
- ekimekim 10y agoI've had this experience too. I complained to the FCC about it, and for my efforts got a likely-cookie-cutter mail response from comcast explaining that they provide these "rare, important messages" "for my own good". edit: to clarify, I was complaining about the fact it broke all my connections, not that it was going on in the first place (which i'm also livid about)
- not_kurt_godel 10y agohttps://www.eff.org/HTTPS-EVERYWHERE https://www.eff.org/HTTPS-EVERYWHERE is an absolute must-have browser extension for this.
- xj9 10y agoI have this extension and Comcast. I didn't even notice they were injecting things
- a3n 10y agoI don't have that extension, I do have Comcast, and I don't see injected Comcast content. Either uBO or another blocker (belt and suspenders) is blocking that, or they don't do it in my region, or my block, or whatever.
- striking 10y agoThey only inject when you're on "xfinitywifi" networks and if you've pirated something and they want to inform you that you've been caught, iirc.
- technofiend 10y agoNot true. They've been injecting ads to my android phone which is served by a wireless device I own. And I haven't pirated anything. I had to switch to Firefox with ublock to fix it.
