What's New in Protego for Reddit

3.14

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.

Making the world a slightly better place

This extension, notably filtering out posts by keywords, is essential for my mental sanity when browsing Reddit. Makes the world a slightly better place to hang out in. Highly recommend.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot!

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

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words!

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.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detail, it turned out to be very helpful. You were right that something is broken, Reddit is running a test that shows a fraction of mobile web visitors a full screen panel pushing the app, and that panel also freezes the page so it will not scroll. Protego did not recognize it: both the panel and the way it locks scrolling are new. I have reproduced both, and a fix is on the way. One separate thing, in case it also applies to you: if the Reddit app is installed, Safari itself shows a banner above Reddit pages. Safari draws that one outside the page, so no extension can reach it. Uninstalling the Reddit app is the only way to remove it. Sorry for the inconvenience. Email hello@getprotego.app if you would like me to let you know when the fix ships or if you have any more details, I've received your review on Aug 1st and I'm working on the fix on the same day. I hope to get this fix out in a day or two and hope you'll reconsider your rating if the fix works for you! Edgar
