A browser extension that bypasses Reddit's forced app-download popup on mobile
Reddit started blocking mobile web access with a full-screen, un-dismissible popup that forces users to download the app. Users who prefer browsing Reddit in their mobile browser have no native way out. This extension detects and removes the popup overlay on load, injects a 'continue in browser' path, and keeps the Reddit web experience accessible without the app.

| Product | Does | Missing |
|---|---|---|
| Narwhal for Reddit | Paid third-party Reddit iOS client that replaces the Reddit app entirely, surviving post-API changes with a subscription model. | Requires switching to a completely different Reddit UI; doesn't preserve the native Reddit web experience; doesn't work for users who simply want to open a Reddit link in their browser. |
| Relay for Reddit | Paid third-party Reddit Android client with active development post-API-changes. | Android-only native app, not a browser solution; requires fully switching Reddit clients rather than preserving the browsable web experience. |
| Old Reddit Redirect | Browser extension that redirects new.reddit.com URLs to old.reddit.com on desktop. | Desktop-only; does not handle the mobile-specific app-download popup block; old Reddit is also increasingly restricted on mobile. |
