I hate those things. Anyone know of a way to get rid of them? In particular, the "Open in the X app" banner is obnoxious. I get showing it once, but if I remove it, don't show it again.

This generally seems to be a thing plaguing tech anymore. Within the last several years I've noticed the removal of "No" buttons in favor of "Not Yet" buttons and no way to say "Never show again." I don't understand why companies think repeatedly notifying me about the same thing will do anything but make me mad. You're not going to force me to install it or use your product or do whatever you're trying to force me to do by bothering me about it. I'll just not buy another product from you or find some way to make it stop one way or another.

Use a browser other than Safari. Firefox for iOS doesn't show them.
