I don’t care about that. I agree this would be impossible in the browser.
I’m talking about the official app specifically, they should be able to do it there.
Premium funds is a good point I hadn’t thought of. I’d be fine if that didn’t happen while in incognito. Treat me like incognito mode for any other random user, just without ads.
I don’t run it all the time. And I wouldn’t if they did this. It’s extremely rare I want to do this.
But if I look up a recipe I’m likely to be bombarded with cooking channels. Home DIY fix? Similar. God forbid I look up a news video on a current event.
