I'm surprised Facebook hasn't been mentioned (yet). The mobile application is workable but the desktop version is just awful

I honestly find the opposite. Facebook's website seems to be one of the best ones of this new SPA trend, and doesn't seem to have any speed issues. The (android) app meanwhile consistently lags for me, and things like voting on polls have a 50/50 chance of working.
Same. I find the app to be actively hostile as its always showing me notification badges for no reason.

That new giant F button in the tab bar always has a number on it that disappears when I tap, but there's no obvious content for me to look at there.

Desktop FB is pleasant. No fake notification badges.

Huh. I guess I forgot about it. My browser has touch.facebook come up if I type in the URL bar and I've basically only used the touch version even on desktop for ages.
Agreed. If wasn't for near and extended relations who will use nothing else, I would avoid it entirely...
