Disable recap nag on Android mobile #2818

Open bseidenberg opened 1 year ago

bseidenberg commented 1 year ago

CourtListener has recently added a dialog asking folks to install RECAP before proceeding to Pacer. This makes sense for Desktop web browsers, as this is useful and important to support the site. However, the only major mobile browser to support the RECAP extension is Safari, on iOS. Both of the major Android Browsers (Chrome and Firefox) do not allow arbitrary extension installation on Mobile. (Chrome doesn't allow any, Firefox only has a small set that doesn't include RECAP).

The website should condition the pop-up nag to not present when the user can't actually take the requested action based on Browser/Device detection.

Yeah, this is a good idea. Want to take a stab at it?
