What would be the point of a hidden ad?
I don’t think it’s the case here, I think this is just some PWA bug, but you could in theory get paid for showing the ad without the hassle of users complaining about being shown the ad.
If this was that simple then every website would be doing the same thing and we wouldn't be bothered by ads at all.
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.
