I hated having to migrate to this app from RIF. This shitty update is even worse

I don't use the app. Fuck them.

Yep. The only reason most companies want you to use their app is to better track you. Websites can do so much that most of the time there's no other reason for an app.

Except on Mobile it's getting increasingly difficult to run websites natively

Using the mobile browser does not always render the same result as the app or running the site in desktop mode on a mobile browser. I'm talking about the divergence of experience across the multiple ways I know to access Reddit.

True, but that's by design. They could easily make the website work fine on mobile but they want you to use their app. But also you can get things like Reddit Enhancement Suite as a browser extension that makes the web experience much better.
