I disagree, Reddit does well as an app (I’m of the option that HackerNews is too , that’s why in use Octal). It’s just that Reddit has a really bad app.

  What capability/user experience does it gain by being an app?
  • weikju 4y ago
    it gains the ability to bypass ublock origin and other adblockers, for one. Not for benefit of the end users, but definitely Reddit gains from it.

      Or you could I don’t know, pay for it and remove ads…

    It loses the ability to open pages in new tabs.

      You can make a HTML link open in a new tab by adding the target=”_blank” attribute. You should insert this after the link address.

        I think OP talked about the app.

        Your comment makes no sense in this context.
        • dijit 4y ago
          Oh, I read it as "in the App a link can be opened in a new tab".
  • ben174 4y ago
    Well, notifications, for one. Until this update which is not yet fully deployed and implemented.
