As I said on the other thread here, I like the desktop interface, using pinch and zoom on my mobile device. Reddit is forcing me into the mobile app, and mobile interface, I constantly have to request desktop site, and it's starting to irritate me, pushing me away!

https://ud.reddit.com https://ud.reddit.com Its the only way I can stand to use reddit now. Wrote an extension for my desktop that changed any links into reddit to the ud form for me as well

  You do know you can turn off the redesign in your reddit settings, right?

  Care to share the extension? Ever since the 'redesign' I have had non stop "Sorry something went wrong! Try refreshing!" issues. It really is driving me away from Reddit (which in itself may be a good thing), and I'm constantly rewriting URLs to the 'old.reddit.com' format.

    Unfortunately its a catch all extension that doesn't just do that; all you need to do is grab an example extension and make the script do a search for all href and conditionally replace content. I've got a mutation observer on as well but I don't know if it was ever useful

You can also use Reddit's "compact" version which is their first ever mobile design. Just append ".compact" to the end of every url [1]. [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/.compact https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/.compact

I feel the same way. The website works great on mobile, and it's super fast. My browser already has tabs as well! Why would I want to install an app?
