I use to be able to read Reddit links on my phone browser, now they simply it a useless banner preventing me from being able to even read the thing unless I download their tracker. Now, I need to train my brain to never click on Reddit links when reading HN on phone :-(



There are browser extensions like PrivacyRedirect (iOS app) and LibRedirect (Chrome, Firefox …), that have the ability to redirect you to alternative reddit frontends (teddit and so on).


You can just edit the link into `i.reddit.com/<whatever>`, it still works on phones. Bonus, it uses less data and little to no js.


also `old.reddit`


Another option for some users: “Request Desktop Website” on iOS/Safari.


Or add .rss on the end


This no longer seems to be working for me. Did something change on reddit's end?

https://www.reddit.com/r/jpegxl.rss

Seems to be working for me, though the feed doesn't quite validate:

Or .compact


If you use nice third party app Apollo you get a share sheet action to "open this link in Apollo" which skips their ads and tracking and what have you.


The Apollo app is great, unfortunately it involves installing an app and a Safari plugin that still can't open up Reddit pages in the app directly.


Not sure what’s wrong with your setup but this has worked pleasantly well for me for quite some time now
