View submission: Updates to notifications, avatar enhancements, a better best sort, and more
I don't use the official app, I use RIF. Sometimes I'm googling something and a reddit link appears. I don't want to open in the app (or RIF) because then I lose my place in the app. Sometimes I'm searching for something using incognito mode (not necessarily porn, but just a browser that I won't forget to close the tab on because I'll kill the tab through the notification). I get a reddit link. "Do you want to use the reddit app?" No. "Click here to see the rest of this thread!" Then a bunch of other unrelated stuff. Can't you just show me the thread I opened?
It's really annoying, especially when Google spits out multiple reddit links and every time I have to tell it the browser is fine and to show me the rest of the thread/comments.

The official app is fucking trash. Why the fuck would reddit have avatars lol?

They could easily just set a goddam preference cookie. It would be trivial. They have just chosen not to because they get better data from their app.
