Please stop asking me to use the app

The redesign completely kills my 12-inch MacBook by freezing Safari’s UI for a good second or two while it’s loading all that shit JavaScript.

I can load actual apps faster than their content-focused website.

Reddit went all-in on React for a content-based site, a fool's errand you'd expect of novice web developers.

Same. I’m having similar although not nearly as bad issues with the new gmail.

However reddit is so bad that unless they improve the performance I’ll likely just stop using it

I use old.reddit.com for now but if they remove it I’ll just stop using the site. I only use it for procrastination anyway so not a big loss.

You can switch it off. And supposedly they will support the old design for a long time.

Just like supposedly they weren’t gonna do the user-hostile stuff described in this thread?
