Fuckers

Looks like a Google Play fake 😂 anyway I think the "disable private mode" thingy could be triggered by your private mode blocking cookies altogether. That would be a reasonable problem for me.

@Alice @moagggi They are just an online streaming service. I don't know why the hell they can't stream in private mode.

What the f*ck?

@Floydian That's what I think. They are still on Flash man.

Private mode... Haha
Always onn

What the actual fuck 🤣

Location. Incognito usually hides the location of the user from the site, meaning that rights management cannot be accurately enforced. I hate region-specific management as much as the next person, but its understandable when the service is for profit. Can't be dealing with them fines yo

It's because incognito is hard for apps to handle storage. Some apis are disabled and storage gets less priority.

@monr0e
Well why dont they just use the IP Geolocation? I know it can be spoofed, but so can browser location.

@arekxv because geolocation has been breaking , very slowly, over the past ten years or so. Your IP can put you in a different country, simply because its been bought and sold so many times. Mine, for example, puts me in Sweden. I live in the north east of England.

*SLOW CLAPS*

@bitsnpieces They are gonna get fucked real hard after Flash's EOL.

Incognito mode fucks up websql/indexedDb quotas

I had the same problem with Netflix. Almost cancelled my account.

@bitsnpieces wtf! Flash! WHY WOULD YOU FUCKING USE FLASH! FUCK FLASH, FUCK IT IN THE ASS! FUCK ALL WEBSITES THAT USE FLASH AND FUCK THE DEVS WHO THOUGHT FLASH WAS A GOOD IDEA!

The reason they do this is because some of their premium content (mostly live sports) is free for 5 minutes. So essentially, you could go incognito, watch for 5 minutes, open another incognito window, watch again for 5 minutes all for free. To get around this, they blocked incognito mode.

@drGreat5 they could just track the ip, and you can manually erase cookies, and you can also make a hidden incognito mode

@-vim- Very true, but they went with this. Their engineering team probably thinks this is the best option
