RE: Reddit is restricting anonymous access to their mobile website, forcing users to install their proprietary app. No, thanks!

Ah very annoying. On Chromium for mobile (and it's descendants like Chrome), if you go to the settings while on a page, you should see a "Desktop Site" option. Should allow you to circumvent this annoyance.

thx for discovering another workaround but still very bad move from Reddit to force the users to install an app.

Totally agree. It's inconsiderate towards users with basic hardware. It's also inconsiderate towards users with sufficient hardware that want to follow best security and privacy practices. It's insulting to be asked to install an app just to view a basic forum website.

Recently returned from Liberia in Africa, where mobile data is purchased by the megabyte. This Reddit policy is basically locking these individuals out from viewing information on Reddit.
