dpkonofa comments on Why are there hidden ads in Voyager?

I just swiped accidentally from the top of the screen and uncovered an off-screen ad in Voyager. What is this and is this disclosed anywhere?

Edit: Why is this post being downvoted? This is a legitimate bug/issue. What an unwelcoming community…

Most websites can track when the ad is displayed. Maybe this uses some PWA glitch to count these as viewed when they’re actually off-screen.

Nah, there is no ad on Voyager. Absolutely none.

I think you're taking about this bug. The dev has already replied on that post.
