Title: Update : Google may deem your website not mobile friendly

QuoteStarting November 1st 2015, Google will not encourage App install interstitials. ie, when you search Google through a mobile device and enter the website, you are provided with an option to install an app. According to Google, this is not a good practice. You are overriding visitor's choice to view information instead of providing mobile friendly content.

Mine is marked as Mobile-Friendly already, with around 95% score. Yeah I know Elkarte has 98/99%, but I am still running SMF with an heavily modified default theme :P
And no, no popups.
