That's all true - we mention these directly on our FAQ ([redacted]) -- many are issues we plan to address as soon as possible -- the application 100% works in terms of functionalit…

> i wonder how you see this playing out in the future In the near future, we're planning to expand into more general adblocking; we're currently focused on growth & there's still a…

Looks like some others beat me to it, and I just commented elsewhere on this thread - but I'd recommend checking out [redacted] - works on nytimes!

Shameless plug (Founder here), but I’d highly recommend checking out [redacted] as an alternative! We work on a number of major publications that 12ft does not, including NYT, WSJ,…

Thanks jimpix45! Glad to hear you're enjoying Incoggo :)

It's a 'local proxy' - meaning it runs entirely on your device, and filters network traffic. Beyond this, there are a wide variety of client-side filtering techniques that we use; …

Ah that may be a miscommunication on our part! In the context of the app, paywall block == paywall bypass.

So as a few people have asked, this actually lets us use a variety of client-side unblocking techniques (like inbound request modification) that browser extensions can't (due to ex…

Yes, it definitely 100% helps in that regard!

That's understandable - if you'd like a work around for now, the app has a 'pause' feature (which, if active, will cease to proxy traffic completely - you can just turn it on brief…

Yeah that's totally fair & we try to be pretty upfront about the issues (FAQ + forum). There's definitely a lot of bubblegum and duct-tape on this at the moment - been putting a lo…

TL;DR - we can unblock a lot of things with this approach that browser extensions can't; it also works across all browsers (esp. relevant for Safari users). Digging in, there are a…

>couldn’t you pause/unpause the stdout with ctrl-s/ctrl-q instead? edit: child comment is a better solution.

Seems like this article was written by an AI… and not a very good one at that.

I think the point Ford was trying to make is that you should listen to your customers, but also think for yourself. If a customer says ‘I want a faster horse’, you need to ask, ‘wh…

Thanks! Yeah it's definitely been a challenge, but I think it's worth the effort to try to make sure we're keeping incentives properly aligned and really get things right before we…

Posted a bit about how we plan to approach this above, so just re-pasting: > - we plan to build in something similar to HTTPS Everywhere to the product, to automatically upgrade co…

Yep, if we do go that way, it'd likely be somewhat similar to Brave. Still very much evaluating options here though.

We are still evaluating the best way to go about this, but yes, we've been looking at the way Brave approaches it as well (though of course, we'd like to do it in such a way that e…

The reasoning behind a p2p model is largely so that we don't have the massive overhead of traditional VPN companies & are able to offer the service entirely for free. Not having th…

Hi edf13 - We're still exploring different methods of monetization, but leaning towards an Adblock-Plus style model at the moment (but would want to keep any ads we served entirely…
