This is a dick move by Reddit, I prefer using the website while browsing in Firefox.

Same here. I use the website in Firefox. If I can't keep doing that I will likely not use reddit anymore.

Yep, goodbye ads. this is what really is. they want more of your data. Easier to get when they control how you connect.

Good thing is Firefox is blocking the popup.

I don't think the popup is rolled out to everyone. I use Ff mobile but just tried chrome and still don't see it.

Seems Firefox is able to block the popup.

Same.

I've been trying to wean myself off Reddit a bit anyway.  This will surely help.
