I get fifteen seconds of article, then get redirected to that "download our app" thing. No combination of back/forward or clicking "no, let me read the article" results in me being able to actually read the article.
I'm not about to pollute my iPad just for one site, so I guess from here on out I just have to make a mental note to stay away from techcrunch articles when they come through here.
Everything is an app today! Yay!
That's the X on the address bar that's a refresh circle icon as you read this.
I have to hit the stop button really quickly. I am also trying to stay away but it seems like a good percentage or article posted on HN come from techcrunch.
In addition, does anyone have an issue with font resizing on Techrunch? When I zoom in to the text it becomes pixelated and unreadable. I end up being forced to read tiny text at original site resolution.
Horrible UX. I expect more tech savvy from Techrunch.
There are pages that can crash Safari on iOS which are no problem to be read in Opera Mini.
I've just followed the link and the whole page is fully readable.
I also find this TC "feature" very annoying.
That or enable desktop user agent reporting via a toggle ala third party browser apps Atomic and Sleipnir.
