They've been doing something like this for a while, forcing you to use the app on mobile at least. How does this effect reddit (privacy) frontends?
They have been blocking my VPN provider for over a year now, demanding a log-in. Sometimes a link accidentally takes me there, so occasionally I get to confirm they are still blocking it. Not that I really care, I can find the info elsewhere, or if I cannot, I do not need it.
I use the Orion browser on iOS with uBlock Origin and the when I go to one subreddit I still lurk, it locks the whole browser telling me to use the mobile app such that I can’t scroll to kill the tab and have to close the whole browser. If I want it to work, I end up having to begrudgingly use Brave.
