Reddit to Redlib Universal Redirector

Redlib is a private front-end similar to Invidious but specifically designed for Reddit. It allows you to browse Reddit without being tracked. According to Reddit's privacy policy, they "may [automatically] log information" including:

  • IP address
  • User-agent string
  • Browser type
  • Operating system
  • Referral URLs
  • Device information (e.g., device IDs)
  • Device settings
  • Pages visited
  • Links clicked
  • The requested URL
  • Search terms

For more details, visit the Privacy section of the Redlib GitHub page.

This user script automatically redirects you from Reddit to a privacy-friendly alternative, Redlib. When you click on a Reddit link, for example, from search r###lts on Google or DuckDuckGo, this script will immediately redirect you to the corresponding page on Redlib.

Why Use This Script?

If you're concerned about your privacy and the extensive tracking practices across sites, this script is perfect for you. Redlib allows you to enjoy Reddit's content without compromising your personal data. With Redlib, you avoid cross-site tracking, ensuring a more secure and private browsing experience.

Additionally, Redlib offers a much cleaner and distraction-free visual appearance compared to Reddit. It strips away unnecessary clutter, making your browsing experience more focused and enjoyable. Say goodbye to intrusive ads and overwhelming elements that clutter Reddit’s interface.

Features:

  • Automatic Redirection: Redirects any Reddit URL to the corresponding Redlib URL.
  • Click Handling: Ensures that all Reddit links you click on any webpage redirect to Redlib.
  • Privacy Focused: Helps you avoid the extensive tracking practices of Reddit by using Redlib as an alternative.
  • Cleaner Visuals: Enjoy a distraction-free interface with Libreddit, making your browsing experience more pleasant and focused.

Installation:

  1. Click "Install this script" on this script's page.
  2. ?????
  3. Enjoy a more private Reddit browsing experience!

Important Note:

Please note that clicking the "reddit" button in the upper right corner will not take you to Reddit. This script is designed to do the opposite - it redirects you from Reddit to Redlib to minimise tracking and analytics by Reddit. I am aware of this limitation, but this script was created specifically to protect your privacy by avoiding Reddit’s extensive tracking. If you need to visit the original Reddit site, you will need to temporarily disable this script.

Instances and Customization:

This script uses the instance https://libreddit.bus-hit.me by default. However, if this instance is down, you can find other instances here. Feel free to modify this script if needed. Simply go to line 17 and update https://libreddit.bus-hit.me to another instance found in the list of instances. This way, your browsing experience won't be disrupted even if the default instance goes down.
