This happens all the time. And I don't understand the reason for it. Companies are incentivized to understand that I have already bought something and then NOT have to spend on advertising the same thing to me. Yet they do. No idea why

I'm not sure if this has already been suggested, but if it hasn't been, then maybe you could market/describe your add-on as one that prevents sneaky websites from tracking you. And instead of calling it a anti-paywall add-on,

Then use open source. if there's a hardware manufacturer that you trust, then that's all you need. you can install a version of android i.e. open source and without play services (eg. LineageOS) and then download apps from a store

I think the point being made was companies would add a statement in their terms of service. As always, you would likely agree to this without reading it and one the clauses would have you waive your right to sue for damages. and then we&#x2

I like this. I currently do the "plumbing" the OP refers to using files. This has generally worked for me, but want to give this tool a test run and see if it's faster than my current approach and this cache command.

There's a typo in the server keys calculation. It should read "server" and not "client" IMO.

i thought this as well.. i only saw the introduction, but it didn't seem there was, well, flow, if that's what you call it, between PG and Geoff

I've also had a review rejected under very similar circumstances. Like the OP, I too was leaving a bad review on a product that I had purchased a few months back. I had purchased the item in a lightning sale though.

I've also been using a lot less of reddit. All reddit and most sites for that matter need to do is be responsive to screen size. And do away with dedicated apps.
