YSK: Safari extensions on iOS let you redirect reddit urls to an alternative

th3dogcow@lemmy.world to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 110 points –

Why YSK: Google returns reddit results very often when searching, which many of us want to avoid clicking, to avoid sending traffic to reddit.

I’ve seen many posts on how to avoid sending traffic to reddit for android users, but nothing for iOS.

Now, most of the options I’ve found are not free, but I had already bought StopTheMadness before. You can simply add a rule to redirect reddit.com to teddit.net. Then, you can still click those google results without hesitation.

It should be noted this won’t work system wide in safari web view, only in the safari app.

Oh that’s a good idea, too. Are you talking about the app?

I have a similar app called AdBlock, but it only allows to redirect based on IP address, which didn’t seem to work well when I tried.

Does the one you’re using allow you to type in the url (ex: teddit.net) instead of the IP address?
