Whoa, I didn't know all these apps had a “Lite” version. Gotta try them now!

100% agree. I stopped using Facebook/Twitter a while ago because the apps have become so bloated... FB app is 488.7mb... seriously...?
If I ever want to use these sites, the mobile web version feels just as performant, too. Also don't have to worry about all of the background activity draining device battery, either.

weirdly enough I've started using Tweetdeck b/c the twitter site isn't as useful for me

Love this. Just discovered CNN Lite. It's marvelous!
Juan Parra, over 5 years ago I thought CNN was already lite? :)
Yeah but this is another level: http://lite.cnn.io/en.

Unfortunately improving the layout doesn't improve the content.

There's also NPR lite: http://text.npr.org
Alex Robertson-Brown, over 5 years ago Preach!! I totally felt this way when I found out about facebook messenger lite on android. Was the quickest switch ever, how do I benefit from using the "full version"

the keyword is ads. for example, facebook lite doesn't have live streams. this simply means smaller revenue.
Taylor Cooney, over 5 years ago great read
