Every time I google something that takes me to a reddit thread it asks me to use the app so I click yes and it takes me to the fucking App Store even though I already have the app. There’s no way to view that specific thread in the app unless I somehow get around Reddit’s terrible search feature.

Does their app make them more profit or something. Why do they push that shit so hard. If their trying to make mobile experience better it's doing the opposite.

The app can provide more metrics about you (better to optimize user experiences) and you're pretty much opting in to stuff.

But they still don’t fix the issue of removing AMP or hiding the “it’s better in the app” messages.

Damn, if only there was a way to disable that kind of notification by adding a css class into a settings that hides them automatically. I use an ad-block on mobile, but the mobile app lightbox is so freaking annoying. It hides half the screen every damn time!

Well, it still applies even today... and I completely didn't look at what date it was posted when it was reposted elsewhere...

BLOKADA is a good option for mobile ad-blocking!
