      I mean, Reddit isn’t the only website with these shitty popups. Surely there a general way to kill them other than disabling JavaScript entirely?

        Of course they can be disabled. But sites are not all built the same way, so there isn’t one silver bullet we can tell you about to disable them everywhere. On mobile it’s even more difficult because access to browser plugins is more limited, along with developer features within the browser.

        I also use FF on Android, and until recently was also using Reddit. There isn’t a good way to remove that bar.

    If you’re running uBlock Origin, go into the addon settings, go to Filter Lists, and turn on the Annoyances filters. They’re not on by default, but should get rid of these kinds of “known” popups across popular sites.

      For now. There was a reddit post last week that showed reddit was trialing blocking all mobile traffic that doesn’t come from the app. Using “desktop” mode in most browsers won’t save you either as the user agent still leaks that it’s a mobile browser.

    You can click continue, at least until Reddit blocks Mobile browsers entirely, use a third party app, at least until Reddit kills them off, or stop using Reddit.

      Given the behaviour of apps, I think I will use only websites from now on.

      Does Firefox have a fine grained way to kill these scripts, or is disabling JavaScript for all websites the only option ?

        You can disable JS per site with an add-on. For example, uBlock origin works on mobile Firefox on Android, and you can use it disable JavaScript on any domain you want without impacting others.
