I normally use the Aurora frontend, but I used Google’s app to check something. I couldn’t help but notice that when I swiped and then let go, the page would barely move past the point I had let go. It had no momentum whatsoever. As soon as I got past the ads, scrolling was back to normal and the exact same flinging motion would send me down by at least a screen’s worth.

Has anyone else noticed this?

    Experience-based vendor lock-in while getting bait’n’switched with increasing amounts of ads is not a consumer choice. To assert otherwise is extremely ignorant of the power dynamics between individual consumers and the duopoly that we have in the phone market.

    I do block ads on the DNS level. You’re probably running a modded version of the client without realizing it.
