I used to use RiF back in the day when it was still a buggy mess. I don’t even remember when I moved to the native app. I don’t agree with Reddit’s policy update (why I’m here) but I thought the default app was fine for normal browsing. I never had issues with the video player or anything else.
I use Samsung Galaxy devices if that’s relevant.
The ads. Jesus. The ads that are dark design pattern close to normal posts. Ugh.
As a lifelong adblock user, I recognize your pain.
