Questions about BrainGuard and Reddit
Can I hide Reddit's Home and Popular feeds on iPhone?
Yes, in Safari. Switch on Home and Popular feeds (lands you on your subscriptions instead). Two more switches cover the rest of Reddit: Recommended communities and Infinite scroll.
Does it work in the Reddit app?
No. BrainGuard is a Safari extension for iPhone, so it works on Reddit in Safari, not in the Reddit app. Safari on iPhone is the only place it works.
What still works on Reddit?
Your subscriptions, search, saved posts and comment threads. BrainGuard never touches them.
Does it block Reddit?
No. The page still works. It just stops starting a session for you. BrainGuard hides only what you switch on.
Does BrainGuard collect anything from Reddit?
No. It works on your iPhone, and only there. The extension has no network permission, so it cannot send anything anywhere, and there is no account, no sync and no analytics.
