I’m also a fan of the prompt, but I’ve bumped into a use case where I really don’t want/need it there.

The users of my app will be transient. Essentially they will scan a QR code that will open a deep link to the app for a single use. I _don’t want_ them to install the app. I just want them to use it once from their mobile browser, and then move on.

I did a bit of Googling, and it appears that it is possible to suppress the prompt programatically, which means (I assume) that Glide could add this as an optional feature. So I’m going to revive this feature request, and retitle it slightly 😛
