    As I’ve been making an effort to replace apps with the browser version of the service. It’s so abundantly clear that companies don’t want you using their website.

    Even if they don’t outright cripple functionality, they’ll hound you endlessly to install the app.

    It’s infuriating to say the least.

      Even if they don’t outright cripple functionality, they’ll hound you endlessly to install the app.

      Still don’t understand the logic of doing that.

      It’s like saying,

      “Our website is nigh unusable, please install our app instead. We pinky promise our app works”.

        It’s because you have control over your browser, but they control their app and all its trackers, ads, etc
