Chapter 112: Preparations must be adequate before a war (Subscription required)
The number of new downloads of Jiyue Browser has hit a new low.
In the past, the number of new users was several thousand per day.
But in the past seven days, there have been only a few hundred people.
The number of people is still decreasing.
As of yesterday, the number of new users was only over 100.
Fortunately, the daily active users, or DAU, are still growing steadily.
This shows that the quality of the campaign has not declined, and it has been recognized by users after the launch of the advertisement.
But if the browser is restricted in downloading increments, the total user inventory will also be restricted.
In this way, no matter how good your flow is, there is a limit.
Lu Shan was not in a hurry either.
Instead, he logged into the Tianya Forum to check out relevant information.
The computer section of the forum is full of bigwigs, and many users are technical leaders from well-known IT companies in coastal areas, and some are even CEOs themselves.
The information they know should be better than Lu Shan.
Lu Shan simply looked up the relevant posts.
I roughly know some of the situation.
The three mainstream web application stores have collectively removed the Jiyue Browser from their shelves.
Not only can you not find Jiyue Browser on the app download store's webpage, you can't even find Jiyue Browser even if you search for the word Jiyue in the app store's search bar.
It is obvious that there must be someone or an organization interfering.
Lu Shan is 100% sure it is UC.
Many bigwigs in the Tianya Forum also believed that it was UC that did it, and many people were outraged.
What made Lu Shan feel very gratified was that these big names in the forum actually helped Jiyue Browser apply for a domain name.
Moreover, the download link of Jiyue Browser was uploaded on this domain name.
This finally leaves some hope for some new mobile phones to install better browsers.
After Lu Shan logged into Tianya Forum with his own account, he apologized to the bigwigs in the forum and explained that he had been busy some time ago and had not paid attention to the relevant matters of Jiyue Browser.
At the same time, I would like to thank everyone for helping Jiyue Browser apply for the domain name.
Lu Shan said that the domain name was built by everyone together, and Jiyue was very grateful. In the future, the domain name will be used as the official website of Jiyue Browser Mobile Internet, and the download link of the latest version of Jiyue Browser will be uploaded to the website in a timely manner.
In response to many netizens asking why the three application websites banned Jiyue, Lu Shan said that he was also verifying the situation.
Lu Shan first contacted the administrators of three app stores as an administrator of Jiyue Browser Company.
Ask the other party why they removed the Jiyue browser from the shelves.
The other party's answer was also within Lu Shan's expectations.
The three websites all believe that Jiyue Browser poses a privacy risk, and in order to protect the interests of users, they have removed Jiyue Browser from the shelves.
After getting such an excuse, Lu Shan just laughed.
After all, nothing is hard to find in this world, the easiest thing to find is an excuse.
Because Lu Shan casually browsed the other top-ranked apps on these three app store websites.
There are many game or wallpaper applications that require much greater privacy permissions than the Jiyue Browser, but these applications have not been removed from the shelves at all.
The privacy that Jiyue Browser wants to obtain is simply the frequency with which users use Jiyue Browser to browse information and different types of content, in order to understand users' preferences in using the browser.
The privacy obtained by many other applications also includes the contents of the user's address book, text messages, and even photo albums.
Lu Shan was too lazy to argue with these application websites.
Currently, there are only two students working with Lu Shan on the server project.
One is Zheng Kaige, a first-year graduate student, and the other is Jiang Yiwen, a junior student.
Jiang Yiwen was a junior now and was very busy with his classes, so he didn't come to the computer room very often. Zheng Kaige watched Lu Shan operate the backend for a while, and then he realized why the number of new users had decreased so much.
He apologized to Lu Shan a little embarrassedly and said, "I didn't pay attention to the background data."
Lu Shan did not blame Zheng Kaige either.
Students are not employees.
He is not obligated to watch your server 24 hours a day and notify you as soon as any problem occurs.
Lu Shan is ready to set up a company when the time is right.
Only through corporatization operations can we compete with those giant enterprises.
It will definitely be more difficult to fight alone.
Lu Shan assigned Zheng Kaige a new job, which was to update the new version of the Jiyue browser.
The new version has a very prominent hint.
That's the privacy tip.
The user must agree that the concentrated browser collects some of the user's habits and behaviors when using the Jiyue browser, then the Jiyue browser can be installed, otherwise it cannot be installed.
The reason why Lu Shan did this was to prepare for the tough battle that was coming.
He also asked Zheng Kaige to use large fonts when setting the installation homepage prompt, and the user must stay for at least 15 seconds and be reminded twice.
Users must automatically check the same privacy option before the browser can be installed.
Although Lu Shan is a freshman who has just enrolled.
Zheng Kaige is a first-year graduate student, but Lu Shan has the upper hand in terms of temperament and academic ability.
Zheng Kaige and Lu Shan were also convinced.
Through the situation just now, Zheng Kaige also learned that the problem faced by Jiyue is that the application was removed from the application website.
The current applications are mainly for the Symbian system.
Zheng Kaige took the initiative to say: "Lu Shan, I can help convert the application into a JAVA installer during this period of time."
"I see many students around me are also using non-smartphones, but they can install Java programs."
"There are some differences between Java application websites and Symbian application websites."
"I will try to get the app listed on more app websites. No matter how powerful our competitors are, they can't block all the app websites on the mobile Internet."
Lu Shan had no objection and agreed to Zheng Kaige's proposal.
After returning to the dormitory, Gao Chuan and others were playing games.
During this period, everyone has become familiar with the school environment. Those who brought laptops from home went to the school business office to pull out the Internet cable.
Since you didn't have a laptop, you found a way to get a desktop computer outside the school.
There is nothing more fun than playing games in the dormitory after dinner.
After a simple wash, Lu Shan lay down on the bed.
He closed his eyes and then entered the Singularity Laboratory.
After discussing the privacy issues of Internet applications with Poincare for a while, he took the paper "Modeling and Algorithm Research on Wireless Communication Network Base Station Site Selection Optimization Problem" out of the Singularity Laboratory.
Fan Bing called Lu Shan and told him that the team's personnel changes had been settled and that Lu Shan would replace him in the Mathematical Modeling Competition.
Please come to the study room of the library on time at 8:30 tomorrow morning, Lu Shan.
The competition officially starts at 8:30.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Yu Chenxi and Wenfeng came to the study room of the library as soon as they knew it.
The two of them took out their laptops at the same time and nervously logged into the website of the College Students Mathematical Modeling Contest, looking at the relevant questions and preparing to select topics.
But when they saw the question, they were both confused.
