>Ever tried to use Yelp or Reddit's mobile websites? Impossible

The other day I tried to view a subreddit in Safari. It was literally impossible, it was claimed to be only available in the app.

If you don't mind seeing the desktop interface, prepend "old" to the domain on any reddit page (i.e. change the domain to old.reddit.com) to bring up the legacy interface. Loads quick and works fine on mobile if you don't mind zooming.

Content blockers aren't allowed to inject arbitrary JS which is often necessary to fix broken websites, unlike uBlock Origin.

Actually, no, I never have. But if I wanted to wallow in these sewers for some reason, and the mobile sites were unusable, I would use my laptop, or just manage to find some way to survive without them. Installing their apps is out of the question.
