I don't have the app and I use reddit (although not often) via my mobile browser (firefox) and it never forced me to download the app, as far as I recall.
- kergonath 2mo agoIt does it occasionally to me (Safari on iOS). When it happens, I just close the page. I hope this is enough of a signal to make someone think. I land on Reddit every couple of days or so, and if they don’t kick me I read the thread and sometimes browse a bit a couple of subreddits I used to participate in.

- inventor7777 2mo agoI encountered that blocker today, so I decided to try Safari's Hide Distracting Items (1) feature, which blocked it once and for all, which I was pretty impressed by. (1): https://support.apple.com/en-us/120682 https://support.apple.com/en-us/120682
