I would happily pay for an Open Source adblocker-style extension that intentionally breaks "do you want to download and install our app instead of using a perfectly reasonable web browser that you're in control of" pop-ups. If I don't already have the app installed, there's a reason for that. (In general, an adblocker is one of the most valuable things I have installed. I wish EasyList had a subscription option; I'd…

I just don't look at Reddit on mobile.

Apollo is the answer. Reddit’s properties are a dumpster fire. Heck even the desktop version regularly starts playing some random video I scrolled past a minute ago… good luck finding it. Absolutely embarrassing “bugs” everywhere on Reddit, even before getting to the dark patterns.

There's already the Redirect AMP to HTML extension, I use it for both Firefox & Chrome - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/amp2html/ - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redirect-amp-to-ht...

The point here is that this can be used on iPhone, so there was not already something there.

What's so bad about AMP? If anything, it makes many news sites more "readable", less junk and distraction. Walled garden? Yes, but so is Apple ecosystem, which is this extension for.

I hate it as much as everyone else, but last time I stripped AMP I got a useless paywalled adridden website so I ended up just sharing the AMP URL

Assuming this is a web extension, you'll only be living amp-free in safari. (pretty sure iOS doesnt allow hijacking another domain's universal links?)

Correct. Some extensions still offer tools via the share dropdown though. This extension could add a “Open without AMP” option in there.

For me, it's just frustrating and breaks some functionality on web pages.

I wouldn't mind if it made things better or at least, not worse.

I’d pay a good deal of money to have early 2010 style Google back. Mainly: - No AMP - If I quote a string, you better be goddamn sure it’s present on the pages that you show me. - One ad per query. These days the organic results are after the page fold. This is unacceptable for something that’s supposed to be a search engine. —- The second one gets little attention but it’s infuriating to me. I mean, I’m explicitly t…

Also not applying a political, moral, business-driven, or any other bias in returning results that they want me to see rather than what I want to see. It used to nearly perfectly match my intentions with the request until they got too big and caved to the establishment and money.

I wish apollo had the option of turning off infinite scroll.
