   Can you give any examples of small categories? I can't think of any, let alone get my brain round what kind of thing they would be.

   Is that for offline processing in a lowest risk industry? Curious as never seen a client get such a rate. Esp once acquirer fees for online payments are factored in (UK experience only)

    Given this is the engine inside Electron, it's understandable if they only work in this rendering engine. Blocking other browsers is a bit extreme, but would reduce the pointless bug reports and bad publicity.

    They - and Carbon Ads (mentioned below) to a lesser extent - had ads which were actually interesting to me. In a way computer-chosen ads (Google Adwords) never seem to be. The fact there was no tracking so the same ad didn't follow me
