I am posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX came from this community only.

Multiple updates have been made to https://rdx.overdevs.com since I last posted here including:

  1. Importing subscriptions from Reddit
  2. Saving posts for later
  3. Share button
  4. hls/dash videos
  5. better search

My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use...

If you want to lurk on Reddit, you can use this web reader I built for myself when I got inspired by the Apollo app years ago

There's an addon for Firefox to disable CORS for certain sites. Need to use that.

Same issue in safari iOS. I don’t want to use an extension for that.

is ok to have workarounds, but i am pretty sure this can be implemented on the app side too. Thanks for the hint tho, at least if i need it i can use it

I've also made an application for something like this. The only way to change this on the app side is to route all Reddit calls through the app server itself instead of doing it on the browser, essentially making the app a complete proxy. The only thing it does is increase traffic requirements and require everyone to host their own instance.

An addon to disable CORS just for this site is really easy and imo the most sensible approach.
