It doesn't put a big red "GET NEW REDDIT" in the upper left that does a single-click update of your account settings? What region are you in?

> reddit.com/.compact

I just tried that and the top 40% of my screen was spent on a banner telling me, "You've been invited to try out Reddit's new mobile website!" Clicking that lead me to a page where both the top bar and the bottom section harass me to install their mobile app.

I use a uBlock Origin rule to hide the upper-left button.

Indeed I overlooked the fact that I am also using ff+ublock.
