As quoted from the linked post.

It looks like you’re part of one of our experiments. The logged-in mobile web experience is currently unavailable for a portion of users. To access the site you can log on via desktop, the mobile apps, or wait for the experiment to conclude.

This is separate from the API issue. This will actually BLOCK you from even viewing reddit on your phone without using the official app.

      Somehow Microsoft was still quiet sucessfull with Edge in large parts of the society.

        Yes that’s true and I’m sure it isn’t that bad. I just don’t like the way they are trying to force their browser on everyone which is why I try to avoid Edge as much as possible. It’s kind of a personal principle now. Microsoft likely doesn’t care about that though since, as you said, they are successful with that technique.

              Teams has been a dumpster fire for me on Linux in browser or using their native client. When it does actually work (which isn’t often), it makes Zoom crash. I avoid it at all costs these days.

          I use Safari on my Mac, and Google is just about as bad.

          If I open the Gmail site on my iPhone in Safari, I have to click past a giant “INSTALL GMAIL APP” button to get to the teeny-tiny (no thanks, continue on mobile web) link.

          That said, I use Chrome on my Windows PC and Edge is frickin’ annoying. It’s like when you go to a car lot just to look, and the doofus in khakis and a polo won’t let you walk around in peace.
