Great way to clean up your Reddit feed
I was getting so tired of seeing political stuff and drama all over my Reddit feed until I found this app. Works like a charm - just add in some keywords and boom, no more annoying posts. Been using it for a couple weeks and tbh it's made browsing Reddit way more pleasant. Plus it stops those annoying "open in app" popups which is a huge W. 10/10 would recommend!
Good When It Works, Keywords Still An Issue
When this program works it works extremely well. The previous problem with the application deleting keywords is now fixed. However, it is still skipping certain words. This doesn’t happen all the time but more often the longer you stay on reddit and refresh the page. The “real time” portion does not factor in a couple of words. Usually for some reason it is the words at the beginning and ending of your keywords section. Other than that, its works as intended.
Awesome Feature
This feature is such a nice addition to my reddit experience. I highly recommend!!
So much better than the Reddit app
After installing this, I uninstalled the Reddit app on my phone. Save to Dock on my MacBook Pro and turning on the extension works great as well.
Note that Reddit tries to push the app on you, for example chat seems to require the app.
Thank you!!! This is fantastic!
I was so pleased to find your extension! I’ve just purchased it and already added some filters that seem to be doing wonders. Reddit has been so depressing recently, the percentage of positive posts in recent months have been buried by an avalanche of negative ones so I just stopped browsing it entirely which as a long time Redditor, was also disappointing. SO glad to have found your app.
Reddit takes forever to load
Hi there,
I just wanted to let you know that I’m really happy with the application. It works just like I expected and I’m using it all the time.
The only thing that’s bugging me is that the Reddit tab takes forever to load, especially after I filter the posts. Is there anything you can do about that?
Makes Reddit usable
Reddit is a cesspool of bias and groupthink. At the same time, this isn’t the early 2000s anymore where individual forums were more prevalent. The top results for many searches are all be on Reddit now, and I’ll admit there is often genuinely useful information there. The downside is that it seems 90% of active users there are terribly obnoxious. As someone who does not care to make an account for Reddit and wants to spend only as much time as necessary on the site, this app really helps filter
Such a useful app!
Protego is such a useful app, yet is so simple to use. It’s an essential on my iPad.
A couple asks/suggestions:
- Is it possible to extend the keyword filtering to include the subreddit name? For example, politic* would filter posts with politic* in the title as well as subreddits with politic* in the name.
- Can the redirect to old Reddit toggle be added to the Quick View dropdown menu in Safari? Sometimes it’s necessary to turn it off just to quickly look at a page, and it would be handy
Works and it doesn’t
Definitely works, but scrolling Reddit stops working almost every time, so only get the first page load and nothing else.
I have never reviewed an app/extension but…
All of a sudden Reddit isn’t complete trash anymore. Less than a dozen words in my filter list and my front page is completely different. As of now absolutely worth the $2.

Works half the time
I have installed this on my phone and iMac. When the app is active and I open reddit, half the time it filters out most of my keywords, but not all. The other half of the time, it doesn’t filter anything at all.
