      I mean, Reddit isn’t the only website with these shitty popups. Surely there a general way to kill them other than disabling JavaScript entirely?

        Of course they can be disabled. But sites are not all built the same way, so there isn’t one silver bullet we can tell you about to disable them everywhere. On mobile it’s even more difficult because access to browser plugins is more limited, along with developer features within the browser.

        I also use FF on Android, and until recently was also using Reddit. There isn’t a good way to remove that bar.

    If you’re running uBlock Origin, go into the addon settings, go to Filter Lists, and turn on the Annoyances filters. They’re not on by default, but should get rid of these kinds of “known” popups across popular sites.
