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/
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.

That’s what I figured, but thanks for the confirmation!
I used the UntrackMe app which used to work like a charm but doesn’t really anymore. Maybe it works on your phone!
