It causes the main content of the page to still be displayed while breaking a lot of other things, including advertisements. The Redditor explains that the reason this trick is working is probably due to websites like YouTube not normalising the hostname. All you have to do is to use the “Request Desktop Site” feature. “I had initially assumed that it didn’t work on mobile because the browsers normalised the URL, however, this isn’t the case,” Reddit user said, adding that the redirection happens on the server-side, so the trick also works on mobile browsers. Redditor also followed up the post with a confirmation that the trick also works on mobile. The post has now 5000 upvotes on Reddit and it was first spotted by Android Police. Instead of navigating to /video, the Redditor asks to navigate to ./video in order to see the content without ads.
