I clicked it from my Fi device

4 is still far less effort than having to call Amazon to cancel your account (among the many providers that make opt out / cancel incredibly difficult)

You said one click. Now you've moved the goalposts to "less bad than [other company]."

It is one click if you are a normal Fi user

No it isn't. And I don't know what a "normal Fi user" is. This doesn't apply to non-Fi users.

Normal as in regular, not I pay for this but only use it every few months, like GGP

I clicked it from my Fi device too - and it automatically opened the Fi app, which doesn't have this setting.

It took a lot more than 4 clicks to figure out I needed to switch chrome to desktop mode AND needed to open the link in a new tab to make it stop opening the app.

Side rant - Wasn't HTML5 supposed to do away with the need for dedicated apps? Interaction with any corp is now split between web, app, and phone, all with different capabilities.
