This is hostile as fuck. Just clicking on the Messages icon on the mobile website launches Google Play Store.

    The amount of stupid hacks I have to go through to make Android usable is making me consider trying out iPhone.

      While I agree in general and prefer iOS, in this particular case that's a bit of an odd statement. On iOS you couldn't fix this behavior at all - the "stupid hack" won't exist.

        That's why Android is winning. The easy things are easy and the hard things are possible.

  I don't get why launching play store from browser is even possible. Did anyone really think that would be used for a good purpose, instead of just rampantly abused?

    yes, to add a link to an app from a webpage.

      I'm talking about web pages that instantly open the play store with no possibility of user intervention.
