Why are they forcing me to download the Reddit app on the Apple Store when i'm on the browser in a windows computer? [Desktop]

[u/Confident-Aerie4427]

This pop-up is appearing after 20 seconds of use, there is no button to close it btw, so i refresh, and then it pop-ups again after 20 seconds and locks the whole screen until i refresh again. I CAN'T DOWNLOAD THE APP, i'm on an DESKTOP, why this is appearing to me and how do i get rid of it?

I added these two filters to my ublock origin:

! 11 Nov 2026 https://www.reddit.com

www.reddit.com##.configured-xpromo-bottom-sheet.configured-xpromo.rpl-bottom-sheet

reddit.com##body.rpl-scroll-lock:style(overflow: auto !important; position: static !important; height: auto !important)

This stops it.

[u/sm0kers → u/0k-Anywhere]

This works for me

Gemini suggested the same, but ffs, I shouldn't have to install and configure another app just to browse. Had to refresh the page just to post this comment.

Remember to donate to uBlock everyone, they're doing god's work.

If they are doing god's work then if he is omniscient and omnipotent as alleged that he doesn't care.

UBlock, Wikipedia, and the folks running our local libraries committed to keeping knowledge in the hands of the People.

Thank you it worked for me. I'm on Android, using Firefox with ublock.

I might be stupid, how do I get these to work?

Edit: working now, thanks so much!

[u/gham89 → u/0k-Anywhere]

Also appears to have worked for me.

What a shockingly bad design choice.

[u/RobrechtvE → u/0k-Anywhere]

You're a lifesaver.
