What's New in Protego for Reddit

3.8

August 11, 2026

Protego 3.8 shows its work: what it is filtering right now, and what a keyword would catch before you save it. Filtering is invisible by design, which makes it hard to trust. Reveal Mode stops hiding and outlines every post Protego would have hidden, naming the filter that matched; Preview does the same for a keyword you are still typing, before you commit to it. Old Reddit gains something it has never had: a proper dark theme, checked for contrast across feeds, comments and communities. Comment pages can open with every reply chain folded away, and a new reset puts Protego back to how it started. No account, no tracking, and your lists stay in your own iCloud. WHAT'S NEW: - Reveal Mode: a button in the Safari extension popup shows what Protego is filtering instead of hiding it. Every post a filter would hide stays visible, outlined in red and tagged with the filter that matched. Nothing is saved and your stats are untouched. - Preview a keyword: try one on the page behind the popup before you save it. Every post it would hide is outlined with the matched word highlighted, so a wildcard's real reach is visible. Add it from there, or walk away and nothing is saved. - Dark theme for old Reddit: old Reddit has never had a dark mode of its own, and now it does, across feeds, comment pages, communities, the sidebar and search. Every color was checked for contrast, so text stays readable rather than merely dark. - Collapse reply threads: open a post's comments as a list of top-level comments with every reply chain folded away, then open only the chains you want to read. A link that points at one comment still opens on it, with nothing folded over. - Ignore community styles: render every community in old Reddit's default styling instead of the custom look its moderators set up, which often makes it harder to read on a phone. - Reset Protego: a new row at the bottom of Settings puts everything back to how it started. Reset your settings on their own, or reset them and erase every filter list at once. Your stats are never touched. IMPROVEMENTS: - Old Reddit's settings now sit on a screen of their own, at the end of the Transform tab, instead of mixed in with settings that shape both designs. Every setting keeps its name, behavior, and value. - Quick Help in the popup now opens the app on Get Help, rather than describing the route for you to follow. Get Help attaches your app version and device details, so what you send arrives ready to diagnose. - The two stats cards at the top of the popup now open the app on your Stats. - Erasing a filter list now removes that list's groups along with it, so an emptied list no longer leaves empty groups behind. FIXES: - A domain saved with a capital letter in it filtered nothing at all, while looking exactly like a working entry in your list: domains now ignore capitalization, and ones saved that way in the past start working without you re-adding them. - Protego's floating buttons sat over Reddit's comment box while you were writing: they now fade out while it is open and fade back when you close it. - The Protego button on a post or comment covered Reddit's "Join the conversation" bar: it now slides behind the bar as you scroll, the way Reddit's own buttons do. - Opening a settings search result in another tab could leave a blank page in that tab's history, so Back showed an empty screen: nothing is left behind now. - On old Reddit, a comment Protego collapsed kept the expanded marker on its toggle, so a folded comment looked open: the marker matches now.

Not janky and has good blocking options

I’ve been trying to cut back on my time mindlessly browsing, and this app actually has a lot of settings to address this. Works better than my other options / workarounds. Seems to be worth the small fee and I hope the development continues

Impressive

Clean design working well

Reddit page no scrolling

Had high hopes for this app as it states working without no login. But that is unfortunately not the case as this app can not remove or disable the Reddit upselling by requesting to use the official app on iOS and locking the page scrolling. In that sense I think what this app claims is false advertising.

Great app for filtering Reddit and very responsive developer

The app does what it does very well and the dev is very responsive and open to feature requests. Strong recommendation.

Makes reading easier

Works well and hides a bunch of clutter. The recent update added a lot of new features like hiding gif-only comments that used to take up a whole page, now neatly collapsed. The keyword filter is great for getting rid of trump everything everywhere. Honestly I wouldn't be able to use reddit without it.
