Created attachment 1605640 [details] screenshot Description of problem: Zeal as installed from Fedora displays ads after startup. IMHO it should not and instead respect my privacy. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.6.1-1.fc29 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. start zeal Actual results: displays ads Expected results: does not display ads Additional info:
Thank you for the bug. From the upstream conversation [0] it seems that the ads will be removed in the release 0.7.0 and the change is already implemented [1]. We can also revert the commit where the ads were added [2]. There is also a setting option to disable ads on the welcome page in Edit → Preferences → Content.

Hi, thanks for acting quickly on this BZ! I think this highly depends on when you expect 0.7.x to land in Fedora. If it's next week, then there is absolutely no reason to try to remove this ourself today. But if it's months away, I'd probably look into disabling the ads in Fedora. How you do it (reverting the original commit, cherry-picking the removal commit, or just patching the setting to be "true" by default) I as a pure user don't care :) Evgeni
FEDORA-2019-6e07532b99 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 30. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-6e07532b99
In the most recent build of zeal (0.6.1-4) the ads on the welcome page are disabled by default. I've tested it in the live virtual environment and a fresh install seems to be without ads.
