    if you replace the www.reddit part of the link with farside.link/libreddit it will send you to a random frontend instance.

    this means no ads, no js, no trackers, and probably none of this.

    to do this you’ll need a browser extension. try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirector/ (couldn’t find this one for chrome but you can choose another)

    if you used the extension i gave you you can import below as a plaintext in the settings.

    redirect.txt
    {
        "redirects": [
            {
                "description": "",
                "exampleUrl": "https://www.reddit.com/r/example",
                "exampleResult": "https://farside.link/libreddit/r/example",
                "error": null,

                "excludePattern": "",
                "patternDesc": "",
                "redirectUrl": "https://farside.link/libreddit$1",

                ]
            },
