Sadly, when researching problems or interests, often Redditposts have useful info.

    Try Rdx, it's great for read access to Reddit.

    More info in the GitHub repo.

    Not a solution, it gives error:

    Can't load content! There can be multiple reasons for this, your browser's aggresive privacy settings may be blocking the one call to reddit.com RDX makes. This happens usually when you use a VPM/Proxy and/or a privacy focused browser like Firefox. Play around with privacy/tracking options or change your browser. If it still doesn't work click the feedback link and send me some info.

    Anything that says their website is broken because Firefox is automatically discredited in my book, especially when they recommend switching away from it.

    Hey I am the developer of RDX. I don't care what browser you use but reddit does. It's reddit that is blocking VPN users. RDX only makes a call to Reddit's read-only feed to display content without their ads and popups and login restrictions. It does not claim to be a proxy for Reddit.

    This site works as an app it forces the browser to download content directly from reddit and doesn't proxy it

    firefox blocks reddit thinking that these are trackers (technically, I think these are trackers, but which transmit content) the site works fine if you disable tracking protection in firefox

    Oh ya for sure. I deleted my account, and moved here never intending to look back. I have clicked on a couple reddit links since I left but I really try not too. Like I'd say 5 times maybe. In the end if I need info and that's the only place...
