    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,
            "includePattern": "https://www.reddit.com*",
            "excludePattern": "",
            "patternDesc": "",
            "redirectUrl": "https://farside.link/libreddit$1",
            "patternType": "W",
            "processMatches": "noProcessing",
            "disabled": false,
            "grouped": false,
            "appliesTo": [
                "main_frame",
                "sub_frame"
            ]
        },
        {
            "description": "",
            "exampleUrl": "https://old.reddit.com/r/example",
            "exampleResult": "https://farside.link/libreddit/r/example",
            "error": null,
            "includePattern": "https://old.reddit.com*",
            "excludePattern": "",
            "patternDesc": "",
            "redirectUrl": "https://farside.link/libreddit$1",
            "patternType": "W",
            "processMatches": "noProcessing",
            "disabled": false,
            "grouped": false,
            "appliesTo": [
                "main_frame",
                "sub_frame"
            ]
        }
    ]
