    I saw a thread on Reddit about a script you can put into uBlock on Firefox that blocks the obnoxious “please oh please oh please download Reddit mobile” pop-ups

      In theory, that would be possible, yes. But it is rather … annoying and I’m sure reddit will break it again. Hmm. But thank you!

        That is the problem with that sorta workaround, it only works so long as reddit doesn’t find a way to bypass it, leading to an eternal game of wack-a-mole for both sides until one side finally gives up

        And I for one am more than happy to give up on reddit

          Completely giving up on reddit is something I would like to avoid as of now. Years of collected karma … :-) (and whisky reviews - r/Scotch has not made it here just yet).

      Brave can block those “Switch to app” notices natively too.
