I see almost no reason to use mobile apps for Facebook, Instagram or Twitter today. Just use mobile web browser instead. The only thing is a dark mode for Facebook, but I believe it is achievable via DarkReader plugin for Firefox. Also, ad blockers are more or less working in browser, although Facebook is actively counteracts.
- ramblerman 4y agoA lot of them detect it and try to force you. It's malicious as hell, but somehow allowed. For example reddit won't open a link it deems +18 through the web browser, and redirects you to use the app.
- SergeAx 4y agoI saw that on Reddit couple of times. I just close the tab in that case: there's nothing 18+ on Reddit that worth installing their app.
- Dracophoenix 4y agoA solution to this is use HyperApp or Userscript to automatically redirect to old.reddit.com. It works like a charm.
- SergeAx 4y agoNot for mobile Firefox, unfortunately.
- Dracophoenix 4y agoWell, that's on Apple.
- SergeAx 4y agoI wonder, by the way, why Reddit's "install app or continue with browser" popup isn't blocked by uBlock Origin. It is clearly an ad, and very malicious indeed.
- tinus_hn 4y agoRidiculously if you change to old.reddit.com it’s no problem at all.
