    Words can’t describe how much I hate this. I wish death to all platforms who shove apps down mobile users’ throats.

      Especially when you even have the app but a link from an email opened up in the browser for whatever reason and that’s fine because you just quickly wanna check out the link.

      But nope, GET THE APP.

      I would agree with you 99.9% of the time on this subject, but the eBay app is actually very good, doesn’t spam you, and gives you notifications when watched items are ending, when you receive offers, and when you’re outbid. It’s good if you’re serious about winning auctions. I collect cards, so it has been instrumental in growing my collection.

    I think it’s also grammatically incorrect.

    Shouldn’t it read: “ if you’ve been outbid” or no?

    I’ve made a webpage that would send a notification to my phone through the web browser when someone joins my Quake 3 server, and it took one day. The most complicated piece was reading the amount of players on the server, the notificatuon part I just copypasted from the net.

    No app. Just a webpage. The notification was reliable, looked as native as it gets, and would even wake up my phone from sleep.

      Yeah these companies want native apps because they can get more device information and have (mostly) unblockable analytics. Most apps are just web apps disguised at native apps anyway

      This is an iPhone. Firefox is just safari with a different skin on iOS. I’d recommend stick with safari but use the free Adguard extension for iOS. It’s owned by a commercial company, but it’s open source, performative and has the ability to use many of the same filters ublock uses

        Firefox is there on ios, doesnt it support Extensions?

        I still think Firefox is a better experience on ios.

        But yes such an “app” (which seems to be the only way to change the DNS server) is a working solution.
