About this extension
Read this or extension won't work:
As of 13 April 2023 there isn't a mechanism to prompt user to give host permissions to a domain at install time, you will have to do this manually via the addon settings page. This may improve in the future: https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/porting-chrome-add-on-firefox-page-permissions-not-granted-by-default/112873/4

This extension prevents reddit from redirecting the browser to out.reddit.com when users click reddit posts with external links.
A few reasons why you'd want to use this extension:
  • You can opt out from being redirected this way if you're logged in with a reddit account, however it is not possible if you're not.
  • Performance. You will now go directly to the link that you clicked, instead of having to wait for out.reddit.com to log your request and then redirect you to the link.
  • Privacy. out.reddit.com is a mechanism for tracking which external links a user is clicking on reddit.
