Image from store Reddit Liberation: Feed Blocker
Description from store Extension to block scrolling reddit feeds, while still allowing the user to directly go on reddit comment threads through third party links (e.g. google search, or a message from a friend). Comes with a whitelist system, which allows users to specify specific subreddits the user doesn't want to block, and a blacklist system, which allows users to specify subreddits to block completely (comment threads included). Purpose: Reddit has become ubiquitous in many of our lives. Which is why it's incredibly difficult to block the entire website with a generic website blocker. As reddit can be used for both productive and unproductive means, this app aims to eliminate the unproductive time sink elements of reddit (the infinite content cycle of feeds), and keep the productive elements (e.g. finding answers through a link given by google search, or a whitelisted subreddit). This app aims to lower or eliminate time wasted by reddit in a smarter way than attempting to block it outright. I am looking to always improve the app, so any feedback is welcome.

  • (2022-11-15) Thomas van Dam: Absolutely great, saves a lot of time! Great that you can whitelist certain subreddits! 100% recommend!
  • (2022-11-10) Laurie: Very useful
  • (2022-08-17) Moepi: If you go to a comment thread you can click on the subs name and scroll freely from there. That is a bit too lenient for my tastes but it does a good job of blocking direct sub links.
  • (2021-11-26) M Mitravasu: Works Perfectly! Now I can finally get my work done!
  • (2021-11-26) colin lin: wow so effective. i'll never use reddit again.

Latest issues

  • (2022-07-12, v:1.0.2) Zareh Markarian: Loophole allows front page access, bypasses blocker
    The front page of Reddit can be accessed by going to a comment page or whitelisted subreddit page and clicking the logo in the top left corner. Since it does not reload the page, it does not trigger the blocker.
