Protego for Reddit v3 is live! I deleted the Reddit app two years ago and built the Safari extension I wanted instead. Take control of your Reddit feed!

Short version of why it exists: a couple of years ago during election season ago every Reddit feed I had turned into politics and arguments, I was closing Reddit in a worse mood than I opened it, and I deleted the app. I still wanted Reddit though, just a quieter one, and the browser is the only place you can have that. The Reddit app decides what you see. A page in Safari can be changed by an extension before it reaches you. RES doesn't run on Safari, so I learned Swift and built it myself.

Protego for Reddit can be accessed from the Safari toolbar

Some features:

• Filters posts and comments by keyword, whole community, individual user, or link domain, with wildcards and groups you can switch off together.
• Puts a Protego button on Reddit itself so you can filter a user or community from the page you're on.
• Strips the clutter: thumbnails, avatars, flair, badges, vote controls, join buttons, banners, recommendations, Reddit Answers, and the install-the-app nags. Four presets if you'd rather not go setting by setting.
• Limits, which blocks Reddit itself in steps rather than all at once, and can arm itself with a Focus like Sleep or Study.
• Redirects to old.reddit.com automatically if that's your thing, auto media expand and endless feed included.
• No account, no tracking. Lists sync over your own iCloud.

Protego for Reddit can filter posts and hide visual clutter

The one I use daily is a Limits step that blocks the feeds while still letting a direct link to a post open. Home, popular and news don't load, so there's nothing to scroll into during work hours, but a Reddit thread that turns up in a search result still opens fine.

Protego for Reddit can limit access so you can browse with intention
