What is Reddit doing
I don't use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn't find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.

Easy fix is to update the url to use "old.reddit.com" rather than the base "www.reddit.com".
That sends you to a version of the site without a bunch of the crap.
This doesn't work anymore. I just refresh it and stop somewhere in the middle and it sometimes works.
Old Reddit works for me. Does it just not work in general for you, or does it not work when not logged into an account?
Well, I think the link structure changed. If I add old to the url, the page doesn't even work, but the homepage does.
Did you get a browser error when trying this? It might be because you left the www in the URL. I had to remove that and replace it with old, and it works. The rest of the link structure is the same on both old and new reddit. I even tried it from a VPN just to be sure it wasn't seeing my logged in cookies, and in a private browsing window where RES isn't allowed to run. Worked fine.
Oh ok
Interesting. I'll have to test it when I get home. I'm always signed in and I use RES so could be some other factors causing it to not be a problem for me.
any idea how reddit keeps banning my alt accounts ? I am suspecting chrome broswser is complicit.
Many ways to detect this, but let's start with the basics: Are you using the same Ip address?
Well yes.
Take a break from Reddit, uninstall all apps, clear cookies off all your browsers for reddit.com, wait a few weeks for your IP address to change, then make a new account.
