The greatest thing about Reddit is finding information on any old topic. For today, I wanted to dig deeper into My Dinner With Andre. RIF tried to open (he’s such a trooper 😢) and when that failed I went to the browser.

I really want nothing to do with supporting that site, but I do want to read these old discussions. Any advice?

    Use Browser extensions to block all ads and trackers, don’t log in to your account. As an anonymous IP visiting the site you’re almost useless for them because you give them almost no data to sell to advertisers.

    Works best with Firefox and uBlockOrigin and some tracker blockers like Privacy Badger. Also works on mobile since Firefox on mobile also supports extensions, however, the Reddit mobile experience is trash, whether you are in a browser or use their shitty app.

      Then can still get some information off your IP address like geolocation for example

      You could use a VPN for that

      Also change your browser user agent with user agent switcher to something useless to them
