Perhaps not relevant to LinkedIn specifically, but in general people install these apps because they eventually get fed up with the purposefully crippled mobile website badgering them about it. Ever tried to use Yelp or Reddit's mobile websites? Impossible.

- Macha 6y agoYou can just turn the toggle on in Firefox on Android and it stays on in that tab until you turn it off (or close the tab)
- tomjakubowski 6y agoI'm a little surprised that iOS content blockers haven't seemed to address nagware.
- Nextgrid 6y agoContent blockers aren't allowed to inject arbitrary JS which is often necessary to fix broken websites, unlike uBlock Origin.
- leephillips 6y agoActually, no, I never have. But if I wanted to wallow in these sewers for some reason, and the mobile sites were unusable, I would use my laptop, or just manage to find some way to survive without them. Installing their apps is out of the question.
- thesimon 6y ago>Ever tried to use Yelp or Reddit's mobile websites? Impossible The other day I tried to view a subreddit in Safari. It was literally impossible, it was claimed to be only available in the app.
- Fwirt 6y agoIf you don't mind seeing the desktop interface, prepend "old" to the domain on any reddit page (i.e. change the domain to old.reddit.com) to bring up the legacy interface. Loads quick and works fine on mobile if you don't mind zooming. That said, it's ridiculous that this is necessary.
- rococode 6y agoFor a super legacy experience, try i.reddit.com https://i.reddit.com/ https://i.reddit.com/
- pmontra 6y agoI use my mobile browser to read Reddit threads posted on HN. Not terrible but I don't know in which ways the app is better.
