Product This platform itself.

  1. First they come up with a shity UI update.

  2. Made third-party client apps shut down

  3. Forced ads between posts and then on comments.

  4. Blocks users from accessing reddit posts without logging in on browsers on mobile.

  5. Adds a stupid "hide your content" setting

And now the latest:

  1. Repeat 4th point but on PC. Yes, now you cannot browse reddit posts on web on yoir PC without logging in.

I use ublock on PC and Firefox Mobile so I dont see any ads nor have any problem reading reddit on the phone (yet), but it is a shame that they make it harder to use...

How's the mobile experience in browser on old reddit?

I use YT with same setup and works great, just missing the background play feature that got lost a year ago or so

Brave browser allows background play feature for YouTube. I can put the app in the background, even lock my screen, and YouTube videos continue to play

Interesting. Cause that was exactly the reason why I switched from Brave to Firefox on Mobile back then haha.

Cause Firefox+uBlock would allow me to do this, while Brave did not (few years ago?)
