Both Reddit & Quora has this sort of "annoying" pattern (In Quora it turns into a dark one as you're not allowed to scroll down on a page after a certain point).
On Reddit, on my opinion it seems how bad the page looks on mobile is on purpose (Compared to, say, HN).
Besides that, I don't understand how clipboard access is not something the apps should ask permission for (And be able to work without it, obviously).
Finally, considering the obvious use the clipboard has, there should be some sort of "this time only" permission possible.
- KingOfCoders 6y agoIf clipboard is mostly copy text, paste text into form field it shouldn't have anything to do with an app, there is no need for the app to have clipboard access, this should be managed by the OS. Only if you have "take license key from clipboard" or something like this, the app should ask for a one time permission as you've said.
- tomjen3 6y agoThere is nothing wrong with e.g getpockets functionality to show the url that you have in your clipboard and offer to add it. There is something wrong with sharing that information anywhere else - which should result in a permanent revocation of the dev cert for the organization that has produced it, as should any type of telemetry (spyware, as we called it in the old days).
