Havent tried for a while, but you used to be able to change the url to
https://old.reddit.com/r/…..
to bypass these shitty “use our app instead”. You don’t get mobile view but you can at least see it
the "new" design is pretty much unusable on desktop too, imo. IF I absolutely must visit reddit, old.reddit it is.
On mobile you can use RedReader. When reddit revoked access to its API, it made an exception for RedReader, because that app supports certain accessibility features which are "not yet" (i.e. never will be) supported by the official reddit app. So if you still want to access reddit on mobile, use RedReader, it has no ads and is much less irritating than the official reddit app.
There's also firefox extension that does just that, in case you forget.
