No. Just no. Ken, Jeff, make this go away. Please.
Or is this just my browser? Can anyone confirm in another browser? I’m using Brave.
(ETA: not used Jeff’s and Ken’s handles until I get confirmation this is Discourse, not my browser.)
I suppose this pops up when the mobile version of the website is displayed on a phone.
Because it doesn’t show up on my tablet (Android, Brave), but Codinghorror told me the other day that on a mobile device that has a certain size, i.e. on a tablet, the desktop version is displayed.
And the “optimized for mobile devices” version has been misbehaving before.
I blame Facebook.

Thanks. Which browser, if I may ask?

Using the discourse app so it would be the built in android web browser. Possibly Chrome. I am honestly not sure which one I told the app to use now.

Ok, paging @codinghorror.
Is that a new feature of Discourse, or did this happen to @FGD135 and me due to browser updates?
FTR, didn’t pop up again after dismissal.
This is a standard feature of Android / Chrome – any website that has the recommended config will trigger that.
If you don’t want it, you’d need to disable it in Chrome / Android, but note that it only appears if all the requirements are met, including engagement:
Meets a user engagement heuristic (currently, the user has interacted with the domain for at least 30 seconds)

Interesting. Might be the last Brave update triggered it. I can’t remember seeing and dismissing it before.
FTR: the update also included the new token-for-revenues ad thingy. I assume this was a larger update, which could explain why the “home screen” message popped up.

Didn’t happen again so far.
