    haptic doom

    The human finger can discriminate between surfaces patterned with ridges as small as 13 nanometers in amplitude and non-patterned surfaces, surface chemistry Professor Mark Rutland said. “This means that, if your finger was the size of the Earth, you could feel the difference between houses [and] cars,” Rutland said.

        Houses are the ones with doors and glass on some of the outside, right?

          No, those are cars, you’re thinking about the ones with A/C and mirrors.

    you need to go to the opened apps menu and do the close gesture, it closes the ad too.

    I love the ads that have that X’s and O’s background so you mistake a random X inside the ad for the “close” button and accidentally give them a clickthrough.

      I wonder how effective these tactics are. Like, what percentage more clickthroughs do they achieve with this deception?

        Even if there are more klicks, there is no way any of these lead to a decision to buy their crap.

    An example of a non ad one is the Google AI popup on Google Discovery articles. The button is a proper size but it ignores you hitting it unless you hit a very specific point which I am certain is not the center.

      I’m convinced that x doesn’t even function as the close button, i make extremely damn sure to press ONLY the x button, and it still pulls the entire window up. Graaaaaaaaaa!!!

    What exactly do you mean by “ads”? Is this a joke I’m too adguardhomed to understand?

    The close button is never gonna give it up, never gonna tell the ad to say goodbye, never gonna turn around, and help you…

    Is there a law saying there has to be an ad close button? Because I assume they are all fake.

    Also the sun does move. But it’s got so much mojo that everyone else just moves along with it.
