Apologies, I wasn't sure what to title the submission; I linked to this specific URL because it's served as a pop-up (and is automatically blocked by most browsers) on LG's bootloader unlocking page[0], which details that pro

This is already an issue Apple has with their own Apple ID 2-factor authentication; in order to authenticate, you must either accept the prompt and receive the code on a current Apple device, or (secondarily) recieve a code via SMS. Frustra

Apple's ad program being referenced is present in its App Store, News, and Stocks apps, as far as I know. That said, Apple also uses their platform to push advertisements for their services/credit card, via push notifications [0],

IMO Action should be taken against Google here, not the average user (about 70% of whom use Chrome). Throttling based on user agent (Firefox, WebKit Safari, etc) would be a bad thing if you ran YouTube and wanted to encourage people to use
