- gnud 8y agoPretty sure it's not OAuth, but Oath. Also pretty sure they named the company Oath so that people would think "oh this is another OAuth permission box, OK".
- peteri 8y agoYou are so right, it is Oath
- scrollaway 8y ago> Also pretty sure they named the company Oath so that people would think "oh this is another OAuth permission box, OK". I think that's just developer bias. "OAuth" is not a thing non-developers know, even by name.
- jefftk 8y agoIt looks like the "Oath" brand is going away, and they're going to use "Verizon Media Group": https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/5/18064172/verizon-oath-media-group-rebrand https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/5/18064172/verizon-oath-med...
- gpvos 8y agoGood. It was a truly horrible name.
- karrotwaltz 8y agoWhen GDPR popups started appearing, I modified my Kill Sticky bookmark-script to also re-enable scrolling. Works most of the time for any kind of popup. Here's the script: https://pastebin.com/NfCyDLw8 https://pastebin.com/NfCyDLw8
- CamperBob2 8y agoThanks for this script, by the way -- it's come in handy many times.
