What services are you talking about? The history Android permission, or something else? Certainly I don't think there's any such API for Chrome.

Definitely shouldn't be. DM me on Twitter (@chrismlacy) if you like and I can take a look at what might be going on.

Yes, it's closed source. I can't see a realistic alternative to this given I'm trying to make a living selling the app.

But FWIW, I can promise you I don't transfer your browsing history. My policy on such data is I simply don't want to ever have a copy of it. If that means I can't sync your history between Link Bubble installs, so be it.

Change the Settings -> Left bubble value.

I already have the code to allow you to specify this via Link Bubble's settings, but I've opted not to enable it so far.

I tend to subscribe to Apple's philosophy of trying to avoid adding configurable options unless absolutely necessary, but frankly, that position can be a tough sell to early adopting Android users.

As I said above, Link Bubble development started before I was aware of Chat Heads.

I see Link Bubble as an additional application rather than a complete replacement for your existing browser. Drive the Prius (Link Bubble) around the city during the week, take the truck (Chrome) out on Sundays.

I'm talking about the interface that presents the web to the user, not the underlying method of rendering the web.

I assume because they use the t.co link to verify items have been clicked for their ad services, but I can't be sure. Either way, as I user I couldn't stand that wasted time, so I went about trying to fix it.

As I said in my post, I definitely thought long and hard about the implications of applying for such a patent. Your points were definitely at the forefront of my thinking.

In the end, I concluded that Loren Brichter's pull to refresh patent proved rather valuable, so I might as well not close the door on such an opportunity myself.

Link Bubble won't throw out those resources, so the page(s) will still be there.

FWIW, Link Bubble development began early last year before I'd heard anything about Chat Heads.
