With pretty much every new technology, society has bent towards the tech too.

When smartphones first popped up, browsing the web on them was a pain. Now pretty much the whole web has phone versions that make it easier*.

*I recognize the folly of stating this on HN.

No it's still a pain.

There's apps that open links in their embedded browser where ads aren't blocked. So I need to copy the link and open them in my real browser.

Or my other favorite trap: an embedded browser where I'm not authenticated. Great, now I have to roll the dice about pasting a password in your "trust me, bro" looking login page because I cannot see the URL and the autofill is all "nope"
