Their website is intrusive tracking spyware enough....but when you run an app, they get so much access to so much more fine grained tracking, due to Android being designed for spying with the illusion of privacy and permissions/security controls.

I understand that you may have concerns about Reddit or its browser extension. However, it's important to note that Reddit itself is a website and doesn't require you to download any browser extension or spyware. You can simply visit the Reddit website using your preferred web browser without installing anything extra.

If you're referring to a specific browser extension offered by Reddit, it's always a good idea to research and read reviews about any extension before downloading it. You can also check the permissions it requires to understand what data it may have access to.

Remember to exercise caution and make informed decisions when downloading any software or browser extensions from any source, not just Reddit.
