- wiml 6y agoYou know, it's been a while since I've seen a captive portal in the wild, aside from airports and municipal wifi. Which pleases me, since, like other users here, I find them fairly annoying.

- joe5150 6y agothey are annoying for users. they are the reason sites like NeverSSL exist, for instance.
- bronco21016 6y agoI’d much rather use a captive portal than hunt for the 4” e-ink device hiding in a place of business. They’re definitely not perfect though and you find some truly annoying configurations when you’re out in the world of public WiFi but for the most part it works.
