Indeed. A lot of work has been put into degrading the mobile experience with banners and prompts and delays to force users onto the app. Sensible people use BaconReader, but I wonder how long that will be allowed to continue.

Are there in fact forced delays? Couldn't be sure it it was my connection or js bloat.
Every third-party Reddit and Facebook app I've tried has seemed as if it was throttled or blocked.
