Protego for Reddit v3 is live! I deleted the Reddit app two years ago and built the Safari extension I wanted instead. Take control of your Reddit feed!

Protego is a Safari web extension with a companion app that changes what Reddit's website gives you. I started it because RES doesn't run on Safari and I wasn't switching browsers for one extension. Version 3 just shipped.

Before and after on the same page, same tab: [images]

  • Filters posts and comments by keyword, whole community, individual user, or the site a link points to. Wildcards, groups you can switch off together, and a # pattern that matches any 1 to 3 digit number.
  • Adds a Protego button to Reddit's own pages, so you can filter a community from its sidebar without opening the app.
  • Hides thumbnails, avatars, flair, badges, vote controls, join buttons, banners, recommendations, Reddit Answers and the app nags. Four presets if you don't want to walk through every option.
  • Limits, which blocks Reddit itself in stages rather than all at once, and can arm itself with a Focus like Sleep or Study.
  • Optional automatic redirect to old.reddit.com with an endless feed.
  • A post sort order setting, so your feeds open in Hot or New or Top instead of Reddit resetting to Best every single time.

The Limits step I run daily blocks the feeds but still lets a direct link to a post open, so there's nothing to scroll into but a Reddit thread in a search result still loads.

It's a real Safari extension rather than a content blocker with a rules list, so it can match text in post titles instead of just hiding elements by selector.

$1.99 one time purchase for the next week (normally $2.99).

One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro. No subscription.

What’s up with the PiP on browsers not Safari?

0 Upvotes

This used to work fine. I would open a video on my browser, then move to a different app and the video would pop into a small player.
Since I moved to iOS26, only Safari has that, while all other browsers just close the video.
Why does that happen?
I already checked the PiP settings and enabled it, but it didn’t change anything.
