Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers (old.reddit.com)

As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

Yes that's true and I'm sure it isn't that bad. I just don't like the way they are trying to force their browser on everyone which is why I try to avoid Edge as much as possible. It's kind of a personal principle now. Microsoft likely doesn't care about that though since, as you said, they are successful with that technique.

I actually don’t mind Edge now that Bing chat is a thing

Funny enought i installed Edge on Linux in order to use Teams decently. But happily avoid Microsoft elswhere.

Teams works fine in Vivaldi or any chromium browser on Linux.

I'm still using the flatpak and just discovered I couldn't share my screen during a video call. I know the native app is deprecated. Can you help me understand what works or doesn't if I install Edge? Is assume then I'd load my teams URL in edge and get the same familiar interface, just in a different wrapper.
