I’ve been hearing that Reddit is requiring an account now. But there’s still a workaround. Use old.reddit.com + Tor Browser in the “Safest” security setting (aka Javascript disabled). This is the most private way to browse Reddit, and somehow, it still works. If it’s not working, try clicking the menu and click “New Tor circuit for this site”.
Unfortunately, as of just a few days ago, all the Stack Exchange sites now needs Javascript to view, because they use Cloudflare (and the workaround I was using stopped working). So I have to keep switching between Javascript enabled or disabled, depending on if I want to view a Reddit or StackExchange post. Annoying.
Edit: Redlib is also a great way to access Reddit anonymously. And even if Reddit ends up blocking the Tor workaround, I’m confident that Redlib will continue to work.
Edit2: ok looks like old.reddit.com isn’t working anymore, you have to use the onion link. Still working as of 2026-08-22 8:00 UTC. Or just use RedLib.
Yup, Redlib is also a great tool, I’ll edit the post to mention it, thanks.
Do you use anything for Stack Exchange?
Also use the LibRedirect extension to automatically change it to redlib. Btw, there are many other privacy focused alternatives in the LibRedirect settings that you should look at too.
I also recommend LibRedirect, it has lots of sites covered like Reddit, StackExchange, Twitter and even Geeks for Geeks
Yep.
