## What is Sink It for Reddit?

Sink It for Reddit is a hyper focused Safari extension that makes Reddit's web version usable. Features a ton of quality of life improvements including color coded comments, content muting, adaptive dark mode and more. Tired of seeing too many banners and buttons asking you to use the app or login? Sink It silently, and safely, removes all of them as well as the "promotional" content too! 

Make the "Modern" Reddit Experience Usable
-------------------------------------------

Supercharge your Reddit experience with color coded comments, improved comments navigation, adaptive dark mode, content muting, and so much more. 

Sink It also de-clutters and removes most “omfg please use our app” banners and buttons as well as the annoying login popups from Reddit in addition to removing advertisements. Yeah, we loathe them too! 


Privacy First
--------------
Sink It has been built with a privacy first approach. 

- All the blocking happens on your device with literally ZERO data being recorded or sent back to be data mined. 
- We don't keep usage data like the count of how many popups and banners it has blocked or links it has redirected. 
- We don't even come with basic app analytics or telemetry to keep track of how many times you've opened or use the app. 
- It does check whether you have dark mode on or not so it can show you the correct tutorial video. (I hate opening a bright video on dark mode as much as you.)

If you're a security researcher, feel free to poke around to make sure the app isn't up to anything funky.

### 5/5 — Makes Reddit Tolerable

*2026-08-27, version 8.7.0*

Can’t even believe Reddit doesn’t have this as part of their site. Puts them to shame.

### 3/5 — Seemed promising

*2026-08-11, version 8.6.0*

But didn’t deliver on some of the most basic features. Namely:
Isn’t automatically redirecting to old.reddit.com
Doesn’t actual set dark most of the time.

### 1/5 — I tried but I can’t find value in it

*2026-07-11, version 8.4.0*

All I want is the dang “download Reddit app” banner gone. It says it does it but it fails to do so. It also is really buggy. It’s just not at all worth it

### 2/5 — Fixed (for a short time)

*2026-06-25*

„Use our app“ nag fix was broken for a few days, but is now working again.
Edit: Seems Reddit updated this annoyance again, so currently not usable.

### 5/5 — This is the best app for Reddit that you can get if you’re still using Safari!

*2026-06-23, version 8.2.0*

If you’re trying to avoid the Reddit app nags, you must have this app. 

The developers of this app have been constantly battling for years and in the recent months, even more intensely with the Reddit app developers to fight official Reddit apps nags that are happening on Safari more and more frequently. 

This is the only app that I’m aware of that can really combat those apps nags and I’m currently in contact with one of the developers to combat yet another persistence and recent app nag that I and a few others are experiencing. Sink It for Reddit Team have done an excellent job of being able to update the app and consistently continue the fight to battle official Reddit app developers.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t stop the new “get the app” pop up.

*2026-06-21, version 8.1.0*

I downloaded this hoping it would prevent the annoying new “get the Reddit app to keep using Reddit” pop up but unfortunately it does not. So I will be deleting it.

### 2/5 — Doesn't really improve things

*2026-06-13*

The recently re-appeared nag screen "use our app" (the one thing I definitely won't do) isn't blocked. Maybe an update is necessary. Until then forcing the browser into desktop mode is the only thing that makes reddit usable.

### 1/5 — No longer blocks subscribe banner

*2026-06-11, version 8.0.0*

It used to be great but now it doesn’t block the subscribe banners that prevent scrolling. I hope it can be fixed!

### 3/5 — Good app, but several bugs

*2026-06-05, version 7.124.0*

I prefer using Sink It over the native Reddit app, but there have been a few bugs that have been bothering me:

1. When I return to the app, I can see about 3 posts before it stops allowing me to scroll. This happens when I previously had the app open, but do something else on my phone for a little while before going back into the app.

2. There is now a “View in Reddit” banner at the bottom of the screen every time I open Reddit. 

3. Clicking on a picture from the feed will never load the image anymore. This used to be functional until sometime in May I think.

4. Back when I could get the image to load in, I couldn’t pinch to zoom from the main feed without the page being reloaded. This never worked for me.

5. Videos sometimes fail to load from the main feed or even once I click into the post. I think this is mostly YouTube videos.

6. I would like swipe gestures between multiple picture posts. The button is a little small, making it difficult to always press.

### 5/5 — Can’t use Reddit without it

*2026-05-27, version 7.123.0*

Once in a while falls behind Reddit,  it great most of the time. I can’t use Reddit without it.
