With how awful the interface is and how it spams me with DOWNLOAD THE APP TO SEE MORE, it kinda already "blocks" it for me. Browsing via Libreddit on mobile is so much better.

Not only that but some features like Chat just redirect you to the app on Reddit mobile web, and it's too cumbersome to use the desktop Reddit chat on a mobile browser.

I had no idea people actually used that feature.
