Admittedly this does sound bad but also keep in mind Forbes does have a very biased axe to grind here as well. “In June 2024, Forbes sent a cease-and-desist letter to Perplexity, accusing it of infringing copyright, to which the Perplexity responded saying the claims were meritless and that factual information is not protected by copyright law.”

Yeah that’s why I don’t install any apps that aren’t completely necessary.

Agreed. Website works perfectly fine on mobile.
You can even take the website and “add to homepage” on android effectively making it a webapp.
I don’t know why people install apps…

Because the website tells them so.
