Since around the time they announced the API changes, every image hosted on Reddit, when opened on a browser shows it embedded on a page on Reddit instead of just giving you the damn image, like it used to do. It pisses me off. Need to figure out a way to return it to the previous behavior and just give me the damn images i asked for, maybe something with the user agent (when you ask it to download it instead of displaying it, or when getting it with wget or the like, it DOSE give you the image, so the way is there somewhere).
Personally I hate how similar the image and link icons are on the website. They’re both squares with diagonal lines through them. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I accidentally clicked a link instead of expanding an image.
Im using Jerboa, and one of the functionalities that RiF had that I would love they implement is that everytime you clicked a link a pop-up come up with the address of the link and options to copy, open in default app, share to app or cancel. Saved me a lot of redirects that I didn’t wanted.
I don’t like pop ups, I want as few clicks/taps as possible. If I tap the text it should take me to the comments, if I tap the picture it should take me to the picture/link, and then from either one I should be able to go directly to the other without pressing back first.
The functionality you describe should be found under a long press, imo.
Part of that, the “do you want to continue to this url?” part, is enabled by default in Connect. Ever since switching from Jerboa I’ve only been rickrolled when I wanted to! 😁
Yeah hey big thanks to whoever decided expanding images should be marked by a tiny dark greyscale icon in the upper-right corner and links should instead be marked by that too.
