TL;DR: Reddit is removing the option to opt out of ad personalization, targeting ads based on user activity. Some specific ad categories can still be limited, but there’s no more opt-out option.

      Firefox lets you adblock.

      a pihole can get you 90% of the way and it works in all apps and any other smart devices you have., but it doesn’t work well if the site isn’t using a 3rd party ad service (think YouTube, facebook)

        My assumption was that at this point the majority of people are using the official reddit app, but I guess that’s an option for now.

        On Android anyway. No AdBlock (at least ublock) still on Firefox for IOS I believe due to platform restrictions. But would be cool if I’m wrong.

          RedReader still works. If you’re gonna look at reddit, I recommend it. You can even turn off all the interaction buttons, so it’s like a “look, don’t touch” museum.

          I uninstalled it though. Reddit is in too terrible a state to bother with any longer, except sometimes as a search result, imo.

          Edit: I’m speaking of android though. Idk if redreader has an ios version or not.

      Which mobile? On Android you can use AdAway. A network level adblocker on your router can also take care of many ads for every device connected to it.
