Not sure you should even be allowed to advertise legal things except in very specific cases. It’s an incredibly toxic industry that is doing a shitload of the heavy lifting of corporations destroying the world…
The worst are podcast ads. It’s like 30% “you can win $100 on a $10 bet with promo code xyz” and 70% disclaimers and gambling addiction hotline numbers.
In Finland gambling/slot machines/betting is monopoly from state and it is not allowed to be advertised. It is age controlled and all the money from the gambling go to charity/tax, and gambling addiction control.
I do like that system, even if it sometimes feels bit controlling people from theirself.
They for sure dislike secure browsers. Also the UI in general is horrible, of the website on Desktop too. Its blurry? The App on the other hand looks good
Really? I haven’t seen that. No Captchas ever I think.
The phone number could be for the 2FA but no idea, I don’t think I have seen it, for 2FA I have the usual authenticator, that said they have my phone for sure at least for shipping but maybe I did get asked for it and I don’t remember, they have it for shipping anyway so…
But logged out… no issues there if anything it works like Facebook where not sure what they have but the session last forever…
Of course I am using my Amazon from Spain there might be differences, like just due the laws alone I expect differences on the American one.
Delete all cookies but exceptions in the firefox privacy settings
Set security mode to strict
Use noscript and you know what they do, remove all the allowed ones and all scripts from default, disable “LAN” and “others” from “trusted” and opt-in manually
Privacy is manual work. Noscript is great, but for sure takes getting used to.
Thankfully there aren't as many great mobile webpages left anymore that I would really care about if they made me use their app. Pre-Edit: I think thankfully is the wrong word.
Still, it’s storage and heckin’ executables on your device. Everyone should get an option to use a website, even if just a poorly laid-out one, unless the vast majority of users only interact in a way that only works with local executables (like video calls). You should not need an app to check an IKEA order status on your phone (yes, they do that, see my other comment).
And I’m aware that video calls on some platforms can - and do - work in browsers but I won’t blame anyone who rejects their boss’s proposal to create a video call app in HTML/CSS/JS.
Agreed. My comment was more meant as an affront towards what mobile webpages are becoming in general. I only ever browse on my phone if there really is no other option at all.
Years of using the Links browser in my youth might have shaped my views though.
