Yeah, I actually had a nice Monday for once. After seeing this, it suddenly got worse again. Much worse. Thank you for that.

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.

The really scary thing is probably the malicious npm dependencies. If I think about the projects at work with and all the different packages and the hundreds of dependencies no one knows. And it's probably even worse in really big companies like Microsoft or Facebook, they probably got thousands across their products. I hope for us all that they scan them very regularly.
