There is nothing that bugs me more than the intentional enshittification of mobile websites/apps.
I don't want all your shitty apps.
Why do I need an app on mobile, but the website works fine in desktop mode?
Why do mobile browsers even allow shitty sites like Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest to forbid you to save images.
I wouldn't even care, if every second image search result wasn't one of these horrible sites.
The app is intentional, with browsers they can't control which extensions you run, and therefore can't force their ads on you. With the app they can control the environment and you are legally not allowed to modify their app because trademark....
Oh my god yes.
Every fucking time I open reddit on my phone the entire website goes grey and they offer me to use the app... Unless the content is NSFW in which case they tell me I have to use the app.
Fortunately old reddit still works to get around that but it doesn't have a mobile page layout
I rarely visit Reddit, but when I do, I use Oldlander to make it bearable: https://github.com/OctoNezd/oldlander
