네이버쇼핑 보안확인 안뜨게 해주세요

별5개 남기면 리뷰 안볼거같아서 적어요 네이버쇼핑 자주하고 브라우저도 쇼핑땜에 자주 쓰는데 브라우저 자체는 타사앱보다 편의성도 좋고 기능도 좋고 정말 좋아요 근데 네이버쇼핑만 들어가면 보안확인을 하라고 뜨는데 한두번도 아니고 매번 영수증종이?채워넣기해야해서 네이버고객센터에 물어봐도 해결할수없고 결국 이거말고 그냥 네이버앱에서 쇼핑하면 보안확인 안뜨더라구요 근데 네이버앱은 웨일보다 무겁고 많이 느립니다 이 리뷰보시면 해결방안좀 주세요

Response from developer

안녕하세요, 웨일 팀입니다. 네이버쇼핑을 자주 이용하시는데 매번 보안 확인을 요구받아 불편하셨겠습니다. 상세한 피드백 남겨주셔서 진심으로 감사드립니다. 해당 이슈는 저희도 인지하고 있으며, 네이버 측과 협력하여 불필요한 보안 확인 요청이 줄어들 수 있도록 개선 작업을 진행 중입니다. 기다려 주시는 동안 불편하시더라도 조금만 양해 부탁드립니다. 💙

며칠전부터 웹페이지에 들어가면 ‘다른앱으로 이 페이지를 열겠습니까’ 팝업이 계속 뜹니다

광고가 많은 페이지들이 주로 그러네요
광고차단기능은 도대체 왜 있는건지 있으나마나한 기능이네요 브라우저를 도저히 못 쓸정도입니다 사파리는 서드파티 광고차단앱이라도 쓸수나 있지 웨일은 뭐..에휴 이러다 다 떠나겠습니다 일단 전 다른 브라우저로 갈아탈랍니다

Response from developer

안녕하세요 좀 해당이슈는 수정되었고 알려주신 부분은 최대한 빠르게 대응해보려고합니다 현재 3.9.11을 배포한 상태입니다. 써보시고 의견 주세요 광고 이슈는 좀더 연구중인데 정책적으로 어려운 부분이 있어 해결중입니다.

Please fix Picture in Picture.

Hacker using the interface

I installed and deleted this app after not using it but I saw that I had an issue with hackers and some of my photos were missing. There was an extension in my photo gallery that allows me to send my photos or data to these companies and this app was one of them. I hope the developers will look into it but if they reach out to me I can provide some more information.
