Went to browse imgur today in my browser, and this pop-up appears when trying to swipe past the first post. There is no way around it that I can see. Looks like the only way to access content is now via the app.
So I guess in not using it anymore… (Also, ironic first post).
Worked same as always in Waterfox on Android just now. I didn’t even get that pop-up.
I have no use for it anymore, hadn’t looked at it in a while.
Edit: Works fine on desktop browser as well.
Which phone browser are you using?
Huh. Weird. I get it on both Firefox and the native android browser.
I’m in Aus, I wonder if it’s regional?
Try Waterfox. It strips out some bs and has better blocking of this crap, far as I can tell. They also made a promise not to use AI.

oh, yeah, also, I have uBlock Origin extension running. Should help.
And, I’m just noticing, might be differences because you’re on IOS, which I’m not familiar with currently.
Speaking of, could OP try Origin’s zapper to remove the popup while continuing to navigate the site?
It’s worked for me on some sites.
I have uBlock Origin already installed. And on android.
there’s another extension called BehindTheOverlay that works well for things like this
Thanks! But I tried it, and it gets rid of the modal, but doesn’t reenable swiping, so the site is still effectively useless
It’s happening on two separate browsers, I don’t see why a fork of one of then would help?
Might also be a partial rollout to check reception and / or technical issues. I personally try to avoid any site that does this
