I've only run into one site (Instagram) that forces the use of the app, and I just close the site instead.



Another great example lately is Reddit. Reddit's mobile experience had become awful. Every time someone sends me a reddit link and I click on it, I'm taken to Reddit's mobile site, which should function just fine and dandy, but the minute it detects you are there on a mobile browser, it spams you with "Reddit works best in the app!" messages, and won't let you view some subs at all without signing in. Reddit is a great example of mobile done wrong. Don't be like Reddit.


Thankfully there are third party clients for Reddit. Check out Infinity @ F-Droid.


thanks for the recommendation! Love f-droid, will download the infinity app in a bit and give it a spin.
