Protego for Reddit

Protego 3.5.3 colors your comment threads and adds a batch of smaller comforts across the app. Long conversations are hard to follow when every reply line looks the same. Thread Colors gives each reply depth its own color, on new and old Reddit alike, with four themes to choose from. Old Reddit fans can have image posts expand on their own while they scroll, and short keywords like AI can finally be filters. No account, no tracking, and your lists stay in your own iCloud. WHAT'S NEW: - Thread Colors: give each comment reply depth its own color, so you always know which reply belongs where. Four themes: Default, Rainbow, wobniaR, and Vibecoded, each previewed with its palette before you choose. Works on new and old Reddit; find it in Transform, under Comment Threads. - Auto-expand images: old Reddit image and gallery posts open inline as you scroll, exactly as if you had tapped each expand button. A post you collapse stays collapsed. Find it in Transform, under Feed and Layout. - Two-letter keywords: AI, VR, and other short terms can now be filters. A short keyword with a wildcard, like ai*, also matches longer words, so Protego states the trade-off and asks before adding it. - Crosspost button: a new switch hides Reddit's crosspost control on posts, on both Reddit designs. - Achievement updates: a new switch stops the achievement pill that slides in after you share or comment. Unlike Reddit's own setting, it applies across your devices and survives clearing website data. IMPROVEMENTS: - Keyword groups can be selected right in the list's Select mode: bulk-delete a mixed selection and choose whether the group's keywords go with it, or ungroup with a swipe. - Updating Protego no longer moves you off your chosen preset when an update adds new settings to it. FIXES: - Hiding post thumbnails also hid a card-view post's own photo or video on new Reddit: your media stays visible now, and only the link thumbnail goes.

Protego 3.3 opens your feeds in the order you prefer and takes the pain out of posting for old Reddit fans. Reddit resets every feed to its Best sort. The new Post sort order setting opens feeds with the sort you choose instead. And if you browse old Reddit through Protego's redirect, creating a post now opens new Reddit's full composer, with photos, galleries, and polls, then returns you to old Reddit when you're done. Also inside: cleaner community pages and a round of fixes, all in English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese. WHAT'S NEW: - Post sort order: open community, home, popular, and news feeds with Hot, New, Top, Rising, or Controversial instead of Reddit's Best, with a time window for Top and Controversial. It's a default, not a lock: any sort you pick on Reddit itself always wins. Find it in Transform, under Feed and Layout. - Create posts on new Reddit: with Redirect to old.reddit.com on, creating a post opens new Reddit's composer, which supports photos, videos, galleries, polls, and drafts. Old Reddit's submit links land there automatically, and you return to old Reddit after posting. On by default; turn it off to keep old Reddit's plain form. IMPROVEMENTS: - The Achievement badges switch now also hides the Community Achievements section in a community's sidebar. - Hiding post thumbnails or community and author avatars now also covers the pinned Community highlights cards at the top of a community page. FIXES: - Hiding a post's vote count, vote buttons, or award button no longer stops working when the Protego button on posts is turned off. - The app's confirmation messages and welcome tour now respect the Reduce Motion setting.

Keyword filtering now works on carousel posts at the top of the home and popular feeds. Also includes stability fixes for iOS cold-start and Safari background suspension.
