  I’m the same way. The less apps there are on my phone, the better. Also, using the web app is the only way to block ads on certain sites such as Instagram or Twitter.

  then there are companies like yelp who make their mobile site as shitty as possible to force you to the app.

    Doesn’t really sound like a company that I would want to do any business with then.

    What’s that other shitty company that constantly pesters you to download the app every time you average the site? Teddit?

      For reddit, just type in old.reddit.com and those nags disappear.

  I wish for a browser addon to just block those app download requests when it smells them. The answer’s only gonna be no for all that, dawg.~

  I only have the Starbucks app so my fancy Sunday coffee is done right and they don’t call me Corey Sangeetha or Coarse Kangaroo.
