Apple is still getting patents under Steven Jobs name

Although this is informative article, I felt a little bad while reading the advertisement being shoved on.

The sad part is the website doesn't work on mobile properly. And each link redirects to their internal website instead of original patent url.

There is a patent ID and it is cool!

I don't have any problems with this website on my phone (Android, Firefox, not usually a combination that's tested), maybe there's some kind of extension or setting that's breaking your experience?

I'm using Android + Firefox in Private Mode and I get the same issue - links redirect to stuff like https://tryslate.greyb.com/engage/USD712067S1, but then all I get is a white page.

I have a similar issue with imgur in Europe, but I don't care enough about either website to delve deeper.

One of the console messages.

I see, I can see the same thing happening here. I wonder what part of private navigation could be breaking the website? I have Firefox's tracking protection set to strict for normal browsing already, so I wasn't expecting a difference between private browsing and normal browsing.

My guess is that it's this issue again: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1639542 but if that's the case I can't really blame the website here, other than that it doesn't show a fallback error message when Javascript crashes.

Based on a sibling comment, I'm guessing this website is using Firebase Auth, which uses the IndexedDB API, which Mozilla has disabled for private browsing.

Hello nullptr,

Thanks for sharing feedback about website and content. I will share it ahead with the authors. I think it wasn't their intention to advertise Apple here but if it is feeling like an advertisement, then they sure can improve they way they have portrayed this analysis.

About their internal tool. I would be open to share your feedback about this as well if you share it with me.

Would be open to hear feedback from other readers too. Please reply to my comment and I can share it ahead. Thanks.
