A quick inspection of the Libra 2 user manual revealed that the "pinch"-feature is not yet documented there. Something to remind the developers about. |

As it is not documented anywhere, and assumptions can be deadly (see discussions about the LED-light elsewhere ) it is good to have some "inside" knowledge. I can live with this one-time appearance.

Time to add these Kobo URLs in the adblocker files to kick these things out. The EU commision should put an end to this sick making behaviour.

Make sure each and every one of us let Kobo know what we think about adverts. If there is enough initial pushback, they may reconsider.

No kernel update since the one from 4.33.19611, and I can still reproduce this in Nickel . On the upside, this new version introduced hints of ongoing work with another OEM, so, all hail our potentially new overlords, and let's hope for less buggy kernels there ;o). |

Hardly anything malicious, or terrible. Were Kobo to start advertising for unrelated things, or show the ad at a greater frequency sure then I'd be annoyed. But your cure is potentially worse than the disease. |

I have installed the 4.3319759 earlier today and then the patches, So far, I've not seen this advert. I did not edit the config to turn off the advert. I do have WiFi off if that matters.
