Replace `reddit.com` with `teddit.net`. Pages load normally and without ads

You could also view the old version of reddit "old.reddit.com", however editing URLs like that is a pain to do on mobile. Very frustrating if I am looking for information on my phone and what I am looking for is on Reddit.

Apollo is a treat on iOS if that’s your mobile ecosystem. It is the best way to consume Reddit imho.

Is this in web? It’s been terrible on mobile for a while. I think you have to login and be on the app. Reddit has added nothing but user hostile features over the past few years. It sucks because all things considered Reddit used to feel like a pretty bottom-up non corporate “for the people” type product, that’s almost all gone now.

In Safari/iOS you can just hit Request Desktop Website in the aA menu to bypass the app-pushing messages and Mature or divisive or NSFW thread blocking.

I wish I hadn’t discovered this because it was a great way for me to realise I was time-wasting and should just read a different site.

On a related note, on mobile if they try to make you install the app to view some content, you can just "request desktop site" and that will bypass the block. It's annoying and breaks a lot of the formatting for mobile, but if you're just trying to read something or watch a video, it works in a pinch.
