Sink It for Reddit 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.
Sink It for Reddit is a super minimal, hyper focused Safari extension that declutters Reddit's web version and makes it usable.
Tired of seeing tons of banners and buttons asking you to use the app or login? Sink It silently, and safely, removes all of them.
It might be a modal covering half the screen with links to the App Store, an immediate popup asking you to login, or a header screaming “the app is 10x better”.
- We don't keep usage data like the count of how many popups and banners it has blocked or links it has redirected.
Harder for us to block ads and much easier for them to scoop up your data, right? To further that agenda, simply browsing their sites on Safari now means we’re inundated with, well, waves of crap.
- All the blocking happens on your device with literally ZERO data being recorded or sent back to be data mined.
Reddit, wants me, and by extension you, to use their damned apps to consume content.
Sink It has been built with a privacy first approach.
- It does check whether you have dark mode on or not so it can show you the correct tutorial video.
- 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.
If you're a security researcher, feel free to poke around to make sure the app isn't up to anything funky.
The recent pricing changes to their API is an obvious sign of that.
Bottomline: it has to go.
