It's gotten so bad on iOS I registered an easy-to-type .com TLD and spun up a libreddit instance on it. Now I just have to double-tap "reddit" in the url and bang out 6 random characters and hit "enter". I was so happy when the new iOS came out with extension support, now I just redirect the tld to that instance automatically.

I request desktop version on mobile for reddit. The dark patterns break functionality otherwise. even pinching and zooming on old.reddit.com is better than that.

Also there is the "old Reddit" add-on for various browsers , auto changes the URL to old.Reddit.com
Unfortunately this is currently incompatible with current Firefox on android

Like most useful plugins.. :/
I ported my extension for these redirects to the new iOS Safari extension model. You can choose to also use the old i.reddit.com interface as well it that’s your thing.

Can you further explain? I jailbreak and use a redirect to the Apollo app, didn’t know the new iOS could do extensions. Amazing. old.reddit.com is much nicer too.

Yep! If you check out the iOS 15 page and scroll about half way down, it talks about extensions: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15/
I'm currently using HyperWeb[0], which does a great deal of automatic redirecting, ad-blocking, etc. (and other automation, if you get the pro option) though there's plenty of other extensions working their way into iOS support now[1].

Thank you so much! I still haven't updated and probably won't to get an untethered jailbreak but I know this will get bigger and I will use it in the future. Wonder if webassembly will help too.

I think this is finally the time to switch to Safari from Chrome for me.
