About Protego for Reddit
Add a keyword, a community, a user, or a domain, and matching posts quietly disappear from your feed. Protego is a Safari extension with a companion app, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. WHY THE BROWSER: Reddit belongs in your browser. The official app is built to keep you scrolling; in Safari, you decide what Reddit shows you. No notifications pulling you back, no "get the app" walls, and no Reddit app collecting in the background. FILTER WHAT YOU CHOOSE: - Keywords - Hide posts whose title, body, or community name matches a word or phrase - Communities - Hide everything from a community, or block its page entirely - Users - Hide one person's posts and comments - Domains - Hide posts linking to a particular site - Social Media - Hide posts linking to X, Instagram, TikTok, and more Keywords go further: * matches a word and its variations, # matches any 1 to 3 digit number, and groups switch a whole set on or off at once. Any filter switches off without deleting it. Reveal Mode outlines every post a filter would hide instead of hiding it, and Preview tries a keyword before you save it. Not sure what to filter? On a device with Apple Intelligence, pick a topic or type a word, and Protego suggests real terms to add. SET UP IN ONE TAP: Pick a preset (Off, Minimal, Balanced, or Focused) and Protego applies a recommended set of options, bringing new Reddit closer to the old one. Fine-tune anything afterward. CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER: - Hide thumbnails, avatars, flair, badges, vote controls, award and join buttons, community banners, and pinned highlight cards - Hide recommendations, promoted posts, login and app nudges, and Reddit Answers - Collapse or hide comments carrying media, and the moderator comment pinned to the top of a thread MAKE REDDIT EASIER TO USE: - Share a post, or a comment with the thread above it, as an image instead of a screenshot - Color-code comment threads by reply depth, with four themes to pick from - Jump between comments by reply depth, and return to the top of a thread - Open comment pages with every reply chain folded away - Open posts from a feed in a new tab, keeping your place - Land on old Reddit automatically, with an endless feed - Give old Reddit the dark theme it has never had, and drop communities' custom styling PUT REDDIT OUT OF REACH: Limits blocks Reddit itself, a step at a time: Home and Popular, then all main feeds, then everything but direct links to posts, then all of Reddit. Pair a limit with a Focus like Sleep or Study and it turns itself on. PRIVACY: No account, no tracking, no browsing history collected. Your filter lists stay on your devices and in your own iCloud. Keyword suggestions run on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, which stores nothing and never receives your lists. YOURS ON EVERY DEVICE: - One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro - No subscription, and optional tips are the only in-app purchase. Nothing is locked behind them - Lists sync over your own iCloud, even with the app closed - Works on new and old Reddit - English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese - Search every setting by name or by what it does - Import and export your lists - Stats showing how much Protego has filtered, with a shareable card Protego filters text: post titles, bodies, community and author names, and link addresses. It cannot read words inside images or videos. Filtered posts are hidden from your view. Nothing is removed from Reddit, and nobody is notified.

What’s new
Version 3.14 · Updated October 20, 2026
Protego 3.14 hides filtered posts, ads and clutter as a Reddit page loads, instead of a moment after. It also adds a comment sort setting, lets you slide the comment buttons out of the way, and includes a round of fixes. No account, no tracking, and your lists stay in your own iCloud. WHAT'S NEW: - Comment sort order: choose Top, New, Controversial, Old or Q&A, and posts open with their comments in that sort. It's in Transform > Comment Threads, off by default. - Show watermark: turn it off in Share as image to leave "Protego for Reddit" off the image. IMPROVEMENTS: - Filtered posts, ads and clutter are hidden as a page loads, on new and old Reddit. - Slide Back to top or Jump between comments to the right to tuck them away and read the comments under them. Tap the arrow at the edge of the screen to bring them back. - On a Mac, the Protego window can be resized. On an iPad, it can be made narrow enough to sit beside Safari. - Protego does less work while you scroll a community page on iPhone. FIXES: - Protego works on the home feed sorted by Top or Controversial with a time range, and on a profile's Posts and Comments tabs. - Communities with 2-letter names, such as r/de, can be filtered. - With Reddit in a language other than English, the Add to filter button shows on community pages and the sidebar settings work. - On iPhone, Recommendations hides the related posts under a post again, and the ad in that list. - A community filter no longer hides a user's profile posts because of their username. - Back to top and Jump between comments no longer show over Reddit's full-screen images and galleries. - On a Mac, Back to top becomes active where the comments begin. - Smaller fixes across new and old Reddit.
