I all I ever see when following Twitter links on mobile is the lower 1/3 of the screen with a "it's better in the app" banner bullshit. What web app from Twitter are you seeing that doesn't have that?


I have the same experience. When I want to access twitter I use https://nitter.net/<twitterhandle>


Thank you!! I was unsuccessfully searching for something like this. Btw I also see a full screen, not closable login nag when scrolling down a few tweets. The solutions is to tap on login and close the dialog on the following screen. I won‘t make an account, twitter. Shut me out completely and I‘ll be gone, just like with reddit.


Happy to pay it forward. It was in a similar thread a few months ago that I found it.


Its significantly less hostile if you use it as an web app, logged in. Even presents a PWA that is basically indistinguishable from the Twitter-Lite app served to data starved localities in Google Play.


Yeah, maybe, but A) I don't have a Twitter account and B) when following a link from some news aggregator showing a "news" story that is nothing but a string of Twitter posts, the user won't be logged in then either.
