  The app also injects JavaScript and CSS into every page you visit in the in-app browser. This strips away cookie consent dialogs, GDPR banners, login walls, and paywalls. There’s also leftover dev artifacts in the production build, including a localhost URL to the Metro bundler.

  Weirdly, that’s probably what will take it down, avoiding paywalls

  They want to be able to serve up pre-selcted articles that push their narrative, but they’re gonna piss off all the places they link to, because the app is also injecting its own ads at that point.
