If you're a uMatrix fan, just open up the tool in your favorite browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc) and see what cost you pay for that Reddit service. Hint - it ain't free. You pay in data. Reddit has a horde of remote JS embedded just waiting to read every single little thing you do on the platform

(Not saying Apple also isn't collecting various metrics, but certainly saying that Apple isn't trying to collect every little data point and sell to advertisers, like Reddit. Disclaimer - I <3 reddit)

I lurk Reddit with JS disabled. It used to work perfectly, but recent changes made it so that you have to enable first-party scripts to see all the comments in threads with lots of comments.
