Description
This Firefox extension was abandoned in favor of a uBlock Origin list after the Android version of Mozilla Firefox got a lot more selective about permitted extensions. It is no longer maintained and presumed to be outdated.
I like to read Reddit on mobile, but over the years the site has gotten more and more obnoxious about advertising its mobile app to users of the mobile website. I have no interest at all in the app, so I created this little Firefox add-on (well, technically I forked it from an abandoned add-on created by Javier Bullrich that had the same goal) to get rid of as much app spam as possible.
For a while I used to update it whenever Reddit instituted breaking changes into their site design. I stopped being able to use it myself when the Android version of Mozilla Firefox ceased allowing the installation of arbitrary add-ons, for that reason it has since fallen into abandonment.
