I don't have the app and I use reddit (although not often) via my mobile browser (firefox) and it never forced me to download the app, as far as I recall.

Old reddit still works, images and videos are usually forced to go to new reddit. You can sometimes get around it by clicking on the comments link.

I started getting a blocking overlay telling me to download the app on new reddit and I just leave.

I encountered that blocker today, so I decided to try Safari's Hide Distracting Items (1) feature, which blocked it once and for all, which I was pretty impressed by.

By default it sends you to new ("www"), but I've found (at least on non-mobile) I can edit the URL to use "old" and works (at least for now).

It does it occasionally to me (Safari on iOS). When it happens, I just close the page. I hope this is enough of a signal to make someone think.

I land on Reddit every couple of days or so, and if they don’t kick me I read the thread and sometimes browse a bit a couple of subreddits I used to participate in.

Another Firefox for Android user here. I get popups nudging me to install their app all the time.
