This is the true final blow to third party apps.

I noticed they did something similar to the mobile website. Even with appropriate content blockers there’s absolutely no way you can see sexually explicit content on mobile without their app.

I just did a quick test with the DuckDuckGo browser. Didn't seem to have any issues loading a bunch of NSFW posts. You have to be signed in though, but I think it's been like that for quite a while now.

old-reddit can still do it while logged out. It's only new-reddit that requires logging in.
