How can I neutralize this annoying "use the app" popup on Reddit while using Firefox Android mobile? (i.imgur.com)

By not using reddit?

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I mean, Reddit isn't the only website with these shitty popups. Surely there a general way to kill them other than disabling JavaScript entirely?

Use Lemmy 😂

If you're running uBlock Origin, go into the addon settings, go to Filter Lists, and turn on the Annoyances filters. They're not on by default, but should get rid of these kinds of "known" popups across popular sites.

Awesome, never knew this!

Specifically, it's the Easylist - Notifications filter that seems to do it for Reddit.

"AdGuard – Mobile App Banners" does the trick too.

I think old.reddit.com bypasses it.

Not responsive of course, but servicable

You can try requesting the desktop page or use old.reddit.com

I did try to install this add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/old-reddit-redirect/ but the installation button is grayed out :(

On Firefox Beta/Nightly you can enable Debugging Menu, by going to About on settings, and tapping the logo 3 times.

There you can add Custom Add-on collection.

You can create developer account on Mozilla, and add any add-on that you want.

IIRC there the Iceraven add-on collection of the developer. Check what it have in it, if you don't want to create an accout.

It's available widely online.

Firefox on Android only allows a select few add-ons unless you install a nightly version or something. I don't do it myself but it should be easy to Google

[–] Gort@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Also works on Beta now.

You can click continue, at least until Reddit blocks Mobile browsers entirely, use a third party app, at least until Reddit kills them off, or stop using Reddit.

They lock mobile browsers entirely for NSFW subs unless you are logged in.

Fuck Reddit

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Given the behaviour of apps, I think I will use only websites from now on.

Does Firefox have a fine grained way to kill these scripts, or is disabling JavaScript for all websites the only option ?

If you just want to read you also could use libreddit.
