>Anything telling me to install an app whose mobile experience is fine already is very fishy to me.

Facebook is my #1 example of this.

The app bloated up like it's primary purpose was to take up space on your phone. So I removed it and used the mobile website.

At first you had to refresh the page to get new messages. No big deal, but a bit annoying.

Then they updated and didn't even need to refresh the page to get an update to the thread you were in.

Then a few years back they decided you can't get messages in the mobile website, you must use their app. Later I learned about mbasic.facebook.com and have to switch to that when friends message me.

Them not allowing you to use Messenger in a browser is just so disgusting. It’s like bullying. I’m happy people are jumping that ship.
