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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sink It for Reddit holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sink It for Reddit has 942 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Parse.ly's written reviews are positive against 70% of Sink It for Reddit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Parse.ly ships an update every 4 months, Sink It for Reddit every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
