minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish78•1 month agoTBH I dont use an app for anything that can be done in the browser, especially when mobile websites ask me tl get their app.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish21•1 month agoI’m the same way. The less apps there are on my phone, the better. Also, using the web app is the only way to block ads on certain sites such as Instagram or Twitter.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•edit-21 month agothen there are companies like yelp who disable their mobile site and make their desktop site as shitty as possible on mobile to force you to the app.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish12•1 month agoDoesn’t really sound like a company that I would want to do any business with then.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoFor reddit, just type in old.reddit.com and those nags disappear.
