Instantly made a Reddit -> Teddit redictor[1] rule!

[1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/redirector/

I just submitted a tiny Firefox addon for redirecting old.reddit.com and reddit.com to teddit.net. Seems like you were faster :-)

EDIT: Oh, I just realized you just added a rule to an existing addon. Here's a link to the addon I made, though it's not gonna be visible until it has been blessed by Mozilla: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-to-ted...

That sounds like a foolish thing to do. Teddit terminates your TLS connection to Reddit, and all you have is their promise to not use that position of power.

> with a reputation to protect

Haha good one.

> Reddit almost certainly does a better job protecting your privacy and security

Even better.

I never understand this line of thought. Existing players are abusing their position, SO we wont migrate to a new player because what if they also abuse the position ? (which is in fact advertising itself on privacy explicitly)

It would be nice to know who that "new player" is.

Reddit links and comments can be edited by the admins so no trust can be put there either
