Upgrade your Reddit experience with color coded comments, sub-reddit blocking, muting (subs, sites, words, users), ad+nag blocking, and more. It's like RES, for mobile! Sink It for Reddit is a hyper focused Safari extension that makes Reddit's web version usable. Features a ton of quality of life improvements including color coded comments, content muting, adaptive dark mode and more. Tired of seeing too many banners and buttons asking you to use the app or login? Sink It silently, and safely, removes all of them as well as the "promotional" content too! Make the "Modern" Reddit Experience Usable ------------------------------------------- Supercharge your Reddit experience with color coded comments, improved comments navigation, adaptive dark mode, content muting, and so much more. Sink It also de-clutters and removes most “omfg please use our app” banners and buttons as well as the annoying login popups from Reddit in addition to removing advertisements. Yeah, we loathe them too! Privacy First -------------- Sink It has been built with a privacy first approach. - All the blocking happens on your device with literally ZERO data being recorded or sent back to be data mined. - We don't keep usage data like the count of how many popups and banners it has blocked or links it has redirected. - We don't even come with basic app analytics or telemetry to keep track of how many times you've opened or use the app. - It does check whether you have dark mode on or not so it can show you the correct tutorial video. (I hate opening a bright video on dark mode as much as you.) If you're a security researcher, feel free to poke around to make sure the app isn't up to anything funky.

A Must-Have for Privacy-Conscious Reddit Users
06/24/2024

Sink It for Reddit is a game-changer for iOS users who value privacy and data control. As someone passionate about these issues, I can't recommend this Safari extension enough.The app's commitment to on-device content blocking and zero data exfiltration is impressive. Unlike many alternatives, Sink It doesn't even collect basic analytics, ensuring your browsing habits remain truly private.Data savings are substantial – I've cut my cellular usage by over 1GB daily compared to the official app. The option to disable autoplay and use the Classic view is a godsend for those on limited data plans.The clean, ad-free interface is a joy to use. Customizable gestures, easy comment navigation, and adaptive dark mode make browsing effortless. I especially appreciate the ability to hide specific subreddits from r/all.While it lacks some social features like chat, it excels at content consumption. For privacy-focused users who primarily browse and interact with posts, it's perfect.The only minor trade-off is relying on Apple's ecosystem, but Sink It provides ways to minimize data sharing.If you prioritize privacy and a streamlined Reddit experience, look no further. Sink It for Reddit is the extension you've been waiting for.

A big thumbs up for the developer!

A big thank you to the dev for working hard to give back some power to those of us who dislike Reddit’s app and can’t stand the invasive ads and annoying “sign up for the app!!” popups every time you load a page on the mobile site. This app effectively gets rid of the pop up and also eliminates the promoted ads that invade the main Reddit feed like weeds giving the user a cleaner less frustrating experience; it also gives a bit of power back to the user so that you aren’t being railroaded into a one size fits all experience. Thanks again dev. Also if you ever redesign the app’s logo maybe use a stylized anchor with a Reddit-like alien or robot face on top (not too similar though for obvious reasons).

Hey there! I've just pushed a version (1.1.4) that fixes the issues with promoted content. Do check it out in a day or so. Cheers!

Best way to use Reddit now

I have used Reddit for 15+ years at this point - a majority of that on various iOS/android apps. With Reddit destroying third party apps (imy Apollo!) a few years ago, I stopped using Reddit. But, like an abusive ex, I went back. The official Reddit app is garbage. Horrible performance, pop ups constantly, a horrible feed, stupid nags, constant begging to give them money, etc etc, it is absolutely unusable. I still exclusively use “old” Reddit on desktop. Even with all of Reddits fancy IPO/public company money, the redesign is still trash. With Sinkit, I can now bring this to mobile. It’s fantastic. It’s amazing. It looks great on mobile, scaling is perfect for my device, and it brought back the joy of using Reddit I once had. The premium features (only $5 for a lifetime subscription!!) are somewhat weak, but I understand the app/extension is relatively new so I will absolutely give it grace. Plus, it’s supporting a dev that gave me my free-time addiction back. For the first time in 5 years. Thanks Mr or Ms developer. Great work.

Apollo is dead, long live sink it

I left Reddit when Apollo shut down. I won’t use their app. I know it’s nothing more than advertising and tracking. I check the website every month or two but it’s horrible. Ads everywhere. I had no clue something like this existed. This of amazing. I’ll be subscribing to premium if only to support the dev. I don’t know what the premium features are and I don’t care. The first time I saw the Reddit website without all the promoted posts, it was like a warm hug. Like being back with Apollo again. I love this.I don’t know how to subscribe to premium. That page has no payment buttons. I’ll just donate.
