This is awful. Why should I have to install an app to continue reading just because of my user agent header? Screenshot: https://ibb.co/cTwVnU

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quora. (Because the app has extra permissions beyond what's granted to a webpage? Because the site wants you to log in, and that's also easier to do through a native app?) That said, it also has restrictions on unauthenticated reading on normal web - they seem to push hard for "everybody needs to be logged into our walled garden".
