Does someone has more technical details? I wonder how this could happen. No app on my android phone can run in background the whole night while my phone is locked. Is Google News installed as system app on some phones?
I will not read an article where the first thing happening is the embeded video starting to play. I do not event whant to load that Video on my mobile phone if i do not click on it. If i open a Video site on YouTube, i know that i want to See a Video, but even there the Video doesnt load without my interaction. If i open an article, i definitly dont want to watch a Video.
Just code it right ? I don't find those negative reviews on other background music players like spotify, so I imply that they work fine on those devices. I don't think they pushed an update just for two devices, I think it just worked with huaweis background killing. If VLC is not working on those devices, they deserve the negative reviews.
Ot: Shouldn't your window manager handle this ? Consider using i3wm if it does not.
Does this work seamless with other web extensions ? As a webextension developer i do not know how those tabs will be handled. I do not see any benefits using this.
I analyzed the ghostery addon a year ago and it sends all websites you visit and information about your system to its server. I don't know why people are using this..
How do you make 30k/ mo profit with an app that analyze traffic ? Has the user to pay everytime he wants to do an analysis ? If you do not sell any user related data and we should believe you this, you have to tell us how you make so much money with it..
I'm only an Android user, but I got an app ( https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases ) that does the same, but just uses a local VPN to analyze traffic and block what I don't want. There isn't even a server it could talk to. What is the problem with that on iOS ? Sending my whole traffic to your server is not worth the analyzing you do, even if you block what I don't want like NetGuard does.
Nice distopia but not realistic imho. Just compare the percent of sites that display ads and the one that try to permitt accessing the actual content if detecting an adblocker. I think the future of ads will be making the user actually want to see the ads/ making the user not recognize the ad as an ad.
If you write a new question on Google Maps about a location, gmap users that visited the location in the past and accepted to be a "local guide" get notifications about the question. They get points for answering the questions that are not worth anything. This is only a small part of your idea, but the problem with making money with that would be the same: who will qualify the peoples answers ? Will the answerer be payed if the questioner says the answer is wrong or didn't help him(and what if the answer is actually right but the questioner don't want to pay) ? Who would pay for a answer if it could be wrong ? If you want a fast answer, how can you guarantee the quality of the answer as the answerer must also be fast to sell his answer ?
