I don’t like light themes because they can be too bright, even on lower brightness but this… I kinda like it. In fact, it reminds me of this Brodie Robertson video on Light Themes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=95dYgp3f-7w (I’m counting on the Piped bot to offer a more private way of playing the video)
TLDW: Modern Light themes are bad because they’re blinding and too bright. A good light theme will not be just white but something that isn’t as bright while still looking good and not blinding you.
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.
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.
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.
The only decent way to browse Reddit nowadays is a private frontend called Redlib. You can use the LibRedirect browser extension or the UntrackMe Android app to automatically redirect all Reddit links to Redlib. It’s better for privacy, since you don’t need to access Reddit directly and thus your information isn’t exposed, it works without JavaScript, it doesn’t have ads or trackers and works behind a VPN or Tor. It also lets you view NSFW content without any limitations.
Me neither, at least I haven’t logged into my account to browse reddit. Occasionally I click on a Reddit because it’s the result of my web search. But I always use a private frontend called Redlib for that, LibRedirect automatically redirects all Reddit links to Redlib, it’s really useful. UntrackMe does the same on Android, Privacy Redirect on iOS.
I didn’t read all the comments here so someone else may have suggested this but for my android when I’m met with this I can open the browser options and choose desktop site to bypass it. Still annoying but every once in a while I need info goddamnit
