pls help get rid of this pop up

[Meg]

Every time I visit the site on mobile, it asks me to install it. Fuck off pop up I’m not gonna install this site. There’s no option to dismiss it, just install, and I have to wait for it to time out to interact with like, my notifications.

Anyways, I hate it. That’s my feedback.

@Meg

I thought it was just me! (Clearly I have no idea how to fix it)

Can you drop a screenshot? I don’t get the pop up.

[Tez]

I’ve googled back and forward can’t find anything for this. If you can, let me know. We do have an upgrade though so I’ll upgrade us and see if that helps.

I don’t know if it’s a regular thing; I have a vague memory of seeing it pop up when the forum first started out, and then once again literally yesterday, but I haven’t seen it between then. It could be that I only refresh the window, I never navigate away from the site in the tab itself.

It only happens when I actually close the chrome app on my phone. Which I close down my apps often, so.

[Jennkryst]

@Meg Close apps? I do not understand. (she said, jokingly)

[Pavel]

@Meg It’s a Chrome thing, not an us thing. Chrome insists on “installing” every goddamn website lately.

[Meg]

@Pavel gross. I don’t get it on any other site, which is weird. It might be a specific trigger though, idk.

[Pavel]

@Meg It could be something to do with the forum-y nature of it. I honestly don’t remember what I did to make chrome siddown and shut up.

[junipersky]

If ya’ll figure it out, let me know too please!

[Jennkryst]

Like I said, my solution is to be such a nerd I never close the tab.

Tangential follow-up - Why does my phone keep crashing and have all this lag?
