I was using aurora store for awhile and today I got a notification tell me to update this app. I have no idea what it do exactly, but I always try to degoogle my phone as much as possible. It would help a lot if someone can give an answer. Thank in advance.

A quick DuckDuckGoing says offloading mobile data onto known wifi networks managed by the carrier.

That verb is quite cumbersome to use, I propose the following;

"A quick ducking"
"I ducked it"
"Go duck it!"
"You should duck him"
"never duck that"
"You should often duck yourself to learn what it will be like when other people duck you."
