rdx is a fast, lightweight mobile Web Viewer for Reddit based on Apollo. Mobile friendly reader for Reddit. Browse Reddit without Ads.
I am posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX came from this community only.
Multiple updates have been made to https://rdx.overdevs.com since I last posted here including:
- Importing subscriptions from Reddit
- Saving posts for later
- Share button
- hls/dash videos
- better search

hmmm, doesn't seem to work ! I get a the layout but no content
I would love to fix this, most people who have this issue are using enhanced privacy/tracking protection settings that block the reddit url or have VPN/proxies turned on. Unfortunately reddit blocks that traffic in the guise of preventing spam/scrapping.
Now I can put up a server and bypass the traffic through my VPS and make the reddit content available to rdx(which libreddit used to do before reddit tightened their API). But soon enough they will ban my server, I will have to buy another and this keeps going on and on. That will be too much effort for too little gain.
However if there are already some servers that make the reddit JSON available through some proxy, I am all for adding it to the app. However I couldn't find anything that will even last a week.
I see, yes my Firefox is hardened, I'll try it without the use of VPN, and report back
side comment : it sucks how these tech giants are ruining "the open web" and making it less accessible, making knowledge less accessible in the process
