Just sharing a small trick I use. Helped me keep the app size reeeally small. 300+ images and so many features into a ~6mb download thanks to this trick =)

Just to say it out loud: I really made this out of self curiosity!
Was testing the new ad block improvements I made to my app, and thought of trying it on few news publishing platforms. Found it very interesting to see so many ads-trackers-analytics in all, so decided to pick one topic all of them have covered and then compare how many bad requests they each make :)
There are some browser fingerprinting properties which is simply not possible to 'disable' currently unless you can get your own stuff from the ground up though, but that's the bitter truth.
Everything that is possible has been done though.
That's fair I guess. But it's not open source currently on purpose, for multiple reasons: - I'm working very hard to create solid differentiating factors - like a very efficient reader mode and dark mode for websites. - The ad blocking tech is a huge differentiator currently compared to others. MANY fail to even block simple stuff like Google Analytics (just an example). - Too many people try every day to use some sort of man in the middle application or faux purchase application to try and fake a subscription for Snap Search. If the code is exposed, it's easier to cheat the system. - I personally wouldn't pay for an open source product if I could just get it up and running myself. But I understand what you're trying to say. Will honestly definitely consider it
Also, give a chance to the Android app, I'm sure you won't have complains there :)
