Pro-tip: use a libreddit mirror when linking to a Reddit thread
Use a libreddit mirror like https://reddit.adminforge.de to link to Reddit threads so that Reddit gets 0 traffic and 0 ad revenue from us opening the thread.
For example, if the Reddit link is:
https://old.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/
Then you simply have to replace old.reddit.com by reddit.adminforge.de so that the link becomes:
https://reddit.adminforge.de/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/
You're viewing a single thread.
There is a plugin for Firefox and Chromium that has redirects for several big sites.
This is amazing, privacy tools are only getting easier to setup
One thing I will mention regarding this: Make sure when turning on the reddit redirect to also ping instances. The default one that the extension gave me was apparently unable to reach the site, but it worked after finding ones closer to me.
Is there a way to make this work on Android? I've downloaded the xpi and when I try to open it, it says I have no compatible apps. [Might make more sense when I've gotten some sleep, lol.]
No. Need to do it the hard way with individual sites.
You can also create a libreddit app using this method. It make break with the API change.

Couldn't one set up some kind of gate on raspberry pi on local wifi that would redirect matching traffic automatically ?
I want to middleman attack myself apparently
That's what I figured, but thanks for the confirmation!
There absolutely is!
Install Kiwi Browser - it can run Chrome browser extensions.

I used the UntrackMe app which used to work like a charm but doesn't really anymore. Maybe it works on your phone!
