For me, Google video search, Google books (Internet Archive is good, but doesn't always have the same stuff), Adobe InDesign (but in the process of learning LaTeX), and Typewise. As for the Google stuff, I liked Whoogle a lot, but almost all their instances seem to have been blocked or shut down. Also, apologies if this is repeating an earlier post.

Its not a notification like that. I open the site in the mobile browser, not a PWA in case you are thinking that.

There is a small "pop-up" at the bottom then that asks you to use their app instead. But its not even layering over the site so you could just leave it be.

If you have firefox mobile and ublock origin installed, open the addon settings and select my filters. Add the following (picked with ublock on desktop):

www.linkedin.com##.z-10.w-full.p-2.left-0.bottom-0.fixed.flex-col.flex.bg-color-background-container.rounded-t-\[20px\].text-left.promo-bottom-sheet__card
www.linkedin.com##.overlay

Then apply changes. You should no longer have that annoying banner at the bottom of the page
