I tried browsing Reddit in incognito on my phone earlier and it wouldn't let me without installing their app, thankfully old.reddit.com exists. From clicking on a search result to viewing an image post took ~8 clicks. The flow went something like: Click on result -> ending on an AMP page and clicking a bottom sheet to view the post in my browser -> clicking on the title to view the actual post -> ending up on the actual post and being told I need to view it in the app??? -> changing the URL to old.reddit.com which is tedious with a phone keyboard -> finally load the page and click on the image

The Apollo app is the only correct way to browse Reddit.

Apollo on iOS or RedditIsFun on Android. Both great apps. I only keep the official Reddit app on my device for the notifications as Apollo try and charge a decent amount for them as they need to do it server-side.

Narwhal and RIF are alright too. But yes, anything but the new website, on desktop too.

Do those have tabs? Otherwise I'll have to stick to my browser.

I'm dreading the day Reddit kills the API's Apollo is using.

Same here. Big win for other social media platforms probably.
I don't use twitter, but I could forgive them for being a little slow (if they are?) because of the sheer volume but the reddit app literally grinds my phone to a holt just to load one photo (often, too)
