I wanted to read this article -- I bike frequently, use Strava, live in the Bay Area, and am in the tech industry. But bicycling.com kept kicking me off their site and auto-launching iOS App Store links!
I've never seen that sort of advertising before, and am surprised Apple / Google (I'm using Chrome) even allow JavaScript to silently throw me out to the App Store without clicking a link.
- idm 13y agoThat's annoying... but it's a really good article! Send it to Pocket, perhaps? As a relatively new Strava user, I thought the article was worth it.

- bsimpson 13y agoI doubt it's Chrome's fault. I read the whole thing on Chrome for Android. Moreover, Apple doesn't allow Chrome to use its own rendering engine on iOS, so problems with web rendering tend to fall squarely on Apple's shoulders.
