Last I checked scrolling is possible on mobile. As is landscape.

How is it possible to "use" a domain name without owning it? More specifically, which mentions count as "uses"?

In the request from the Signal app to Amazon's servers, they pretend that's the domain they want to contact, but inside the encrypted connection, they actually ask for a different domain (the latter of which they own).
