Does it re-request contents when it reload tabs after the app is suspended? Safari makes it very difficult to read content later if you don’t have service.
Not if you call a cab and they say "we dispatched a driver" and then that driver never shows up. There wasn't accountability with the old system, hopefully Uber/Lyft have forced cab companies to evolve. The apps in some cities are a promising sign but aren't universal.
What model Samsung do you have? I have been using the KS8000 for a couple years and have only ever noticed the small ad that looks like another app in the home screen. I've never had Samsung ads in 3rd party apps.
