Re:Fi now opts you into the use of your CPNI by Alphabet affiliates on Monday August 28, 2023 @11:33PM (#37303278)
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.
