use a web browser....even on your phone....
No? That defeats the whole purpose of not wanting to use the browser app(s) on my phone.
That’s like saying “just browse Reddit on your safari browser on your phone forehead and you won’t have to worry about Apollo shutting down or any other 3rd party app”
Such short-sightedness.
Thers's plenty of other good reasons not to use non-free closed source "SaaS" like reddit.
then again, if your phone has "safari browser" you probably are unable to be reasoned with anyway.
Stop your Apple bad elitist bullshit. No one wants that and it isn’t at all helpful to the conversation about what apps achieve the solution OP looking for
I like it lol
Apple users need to be taken down a peg.
It’s not a competition, users of anything are just people looking for a product that works best for them
I disagree, I think Apple users are elitist picks who care about brand recognition way more than is healthy. Text bubble color, seriously? The level of peer pressure that young people face to use apple products is unhealthy for society.
You’ve been online far too much if you think anyone actually cares about color bubbles other than teenagers who don’t matter because they know nothing yet. Most people who have apple device have it because they were free/on sale with their phone plan or through work. I know dozens of people at my work who have cell phones solely because the company gives them one for work and that’s all they’ve had the past 10 years and it’s of course an iPhone for ease of support and management
The opinions of children don’t matter
They absolutely matter, how could you think otherwise? What an absurd statement
Oh nooo not an android user. I bet you also use Linux because you’re not like those other tech nerds.
Take your elitism out of here.
Not wanting to use the browser is its own purpose? Of course I understand if you want to use a specialized app that offers more features, better usability, nicer layouts than the original websites of the services they are for. But using a specialized app just because it's not the browser (which, by the way, it often really is anyway), why that?
Web browsers are terrible on a phone. There’s a reason apps exist
Funny, I use web browsers because apps are almost universally terrible. Tons of white space, suck up all your data, need a sign in which usually just redirects to a web page anyway, bloated, run slower, oh and most important of all I can't block ads.
No, [every company in existence], I do not want to download your app.
