Is old.reddit.com very unstable for everyone else in safari or just me? On my past 3 iphones through multiple iOS versions I can't browse for more than 10 minutes without eventually hanging/crashing safari. It seems to happen most frequently after browsing posts with images

New Reddit it like that. Page randomly resets no matter what you’re doing. Dumps you back at the top and asks if you want to install the app.

They are desperate about getting you to download their app.

To the point where it feels like they have pretty obviously intentionally gimped the mobile website to drive you to the app - which just makes me way less likely to install it. Page loads take absolutely forever, videos almost never work first try, their image galleries are essentially unusable... None of these are issues on desktop web (on the same network).

New reddit is just harmful to your laptop battery. It fulls one cpu core all the time if you don't block the update websocket. Truly the worst written react app I ever saw.

I installed an app. A 3rd party app. To occasionally obtain useful info from that site whose designers are hostile.

I haven’t had any trouble with it.
