    Is there any more information beyond the gitlab page? RedReader was my go-to when I browsed Reddit a lot (not as modern looking), is this using Teddit links or further anonymizing? Otherwise Reddit still gets your IP, so where are the extra measures taken?

    Installed and checked my DNS app, it still used Reddit links and the associated trackers from what I could tell.

    I do like the look of the app, and the layout of the license page is nice but I wish the information on gitlab was more forthcoming.

      At first glance after checking the Network log of NetGuard, this app calls the normal Reddit site. So your IP will be shared.

      Genuine question since I’m new to FOSS, but wouldn’t that be the same problem with NewPipe? So if I use TOR and DNSCrypt with it, wouldn’t it be alright?

        That sounds right to me, I don’t have a setup that does that so I tend to look for the app specific options is all.
