The accompanying screenshot is taken from a chromium browser. The URL is indeed correct: “punish.” It’s as if I’m being punished for not using the mobile app.
I’ve already accepted that I will encounter such a window, and that slider prompt almost constantly when I’m using Librewolf, but having tried accessing it via a Chromium browser, it’s the same. Did I break any of their “necessary” trackers?
I try not to use the mobile app because it’s such a resource hog, on top of its UX being annoying and confusing, and I’d rather just ditch Lazada than to use their mobile app.
I’ve got no love for Shoppee either, so I guess I’d just end up saving money (rather than buy stuff), lol!
Anyways, is it just me or is your Lazada.ph’s web experience as bad as mine?
Edited post title to remove the unintended link.
If you’re on Android, you can set up a seperate account/profile just for Lazada (or similar apps) to making datamining slightly harder. Additionally, you can use Adguard DNS to block trackers while using the app.
They want your info op thats for sure.
Yeah, pretty much. Also, my default assumption for any site that tries to push people into using their (dedicated) apps.
SEA e-commerces’ websites are bad. They know that they cannot collect your “whole” data with just a web browser. Di sila kikita diyan.
Which is precisely why I want to use it via a web browser, lol! It’s a battle of attrition siguro for the likes of us, kung saan tayo bibigay.
Unfortunately, I’m spiteful enough to just stay away from Lazada completely if they make their website completely unusable.
Ang nakakainis sa lazada app ay ang notifications nila. Minsan mga tatlo o apat na lazada notifications for every hour.
Pwede mo naman idisable yan sa app settings mismo.
Disable ko lahat except messages para sana sa mga totoong message from seller pero karamihan iniispam pa rin ako ng promo tulad ng “OwO What’s this? U left an itewm on u cawt UwU. Will u pwis check out 2 save moe UwU”
The problem is that they don’t use notification categories and mix promotions and spam with delivery updates or store message replies.
Its in the app settings for iOS too but idk, it feels like it never works.
I thought that it was just the ublock plugin breaking some things in their website but instead it’s that their website is really just trash.
Same, suspetsa ko naman, either uBlock origin or my settings sa LibreWolf. Kaso eh, basura pala talaga website nila. Still more usable than their mobile app tho.
Nasa mobile lang talaga ang mga promos nila kaya mapipilitan kang gamitin
Well, I guess? And to some people it might be worth using the app for the promos. But I doubt it’s really worth the annoyance that is using the app, as well as the personal data.
