Persistent app download prompts on mobile website
🧭 workproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
A LinkedIn mobile website user reports being frequently interrupted by large, intrusive pop-ups urging them to download the mobile app while trying to browse the site.
What people do today
- Dismissing the pop-up manually
- Using a browser ad-blocker
- Switching to desktop mode
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A browser extension that automatically suppresses 'download our app' banners on specific professional networking sites.
- A user-preference setting on the LinkedIn website to permanently opt-out of app-download prompts.
- A browser-based 'reader mode' tool that strips away promotional overlays and focuses only on content.
