Recently, I've started noticing website owners always trying to force people to browse their websites on their mobile app instead of doing so in a browser.

If you are a frequent user of Quora, Reddit and other popular forums, you'll probably have noticed this.

A lot of times, you can't move from your Google search results to read contents on these websites directly without them asking you to switch to their mobile apps. Some even make it almost impossible for you to read some contents if you don't make the switch.

I don't know about other users but I find this really frustrating and annoying. I mean, what's the point of switching from my browser to download and install your app just because I want to reach content on your website.

It just doesn't make any sense. We all know where the Play store and App store are. If we want your app, we know where to go find them. Put the notification that you have an app and a suggestion if we want to switch for better experience. Forcing it down our throat is not the definition of a better experience to me.

Worst, is that I have other important tabs open. If every one start doing that, shey pesin go fit do research like this?

I just hope nairaland doesn't try this in the nearest future tho.

Most of those apps are privacy information stealers..

They would sell your number, your data to highest bidders
