The mobile web has always been utter trash, it's just gotten worse in the last five years as more sites have rolled out mobile versions.
Disabling Javascript helps a lot, but the "request desktop site" toggle is still frequently necessary.
Imgur is, however, deserving of special mention for actively degrading their mobile experience - direct image links redirect to the mobile site now, which loads low-resolution images.
- snazz 8y agoImgur gets another point for loading images with (third-party?) JavaScript, so that it sometimes hangs on the fancy animated loading screen and I never see the picture unless I reload. It’s unfortunate that so much work goes into UX design but at the same time the web has been going downhill for years.
- taneq 8y agoImgur's mobile site used to be really good. Now it's awful and I refuse to use it, much less be badgered into installing their damn app.
