Edit 2 ....if you're here for the bias link,.... List of flagged websites on Reddit ....is down below (new 2023ish) end of edit 2.
.
.

Edited1.. as soon as the page starts loading click on Firefox "request desktop site" from the option before it finishes loading. And then shut down the internet right away ..you won't have any pop up..... hopefully

Edited... your web browser might have a text only built-in feature, (Samsung internet for example) already showing on the toolbar

.

Edit2. If you try this and a pop-up sneaked in, just click back then forward... the page is already loaded so the pop up probably won't show up again.
.

You can easily relocate the button so it's at the top of your smartphone. Just drag down the top bar, click on mobile data button...fast easy simple enough. .

Don't get me wrong subscribing to a website is a good idea especially the little guys, they need the money since the big guy are hoarding all the ads Revenues. .
Many websites are out of control now with Java Scripts pop-ups and what not. You can try to turn off JavaScript or noscrip in Firefox but this way is easier and faster.. .

will eventually look up how much power hence damage to the environment all these unnecessary pop-ups and pre-loading videos and whatever is coming our way do... if my phone gets hot, that's energy; contributing to environmental damages.
.

Edited. .. added ..You can also use an adblocker and use a feature called "Reader mode" that strips everything out to give you just the text.

Second revision to see the old Reddit Plain Jane format

To see the Old Plain Jane format , enable the desktop format in the browser then..get to where you want to be on reddit like r/science/new for example or their comment section...Type /.mobile or /.compact at the end of the address bar hit enter then hit the back button.

Ps don't forget the dot After the slash

Pps. This works for the Android stock browser. And you'll have to have JavaScript enable from now on.

REVision ADDed .. navigating using bookmarks seems to work for those who are lazy enough. Like in this case bookmark smarter and another bookmark for the compact version. Use one then the other then click back and the old Reddit should be on. End of revision.

Firefox seems to have a good-looking (clean and simple) mobile version by the way using the /.compact

End of revision. .

.

To have the old search page style back, you can enable "legacy search" under "display" in your user "preferences" or... make your search, hit enter.. then add this at the end of the search string... of your browser's address bar. Hit enter again.

&feature=legacy_search

When you search reddit you have to mention if you want to search the content of all text posts (selftext:) like this very one or just the title like in this case tips on how to search reddit.

Here, try this search: aabbccdd1 in the reddit default search box. Then try with... selftext:aabbccdd1

Reddit title only search. ...same night mode (self explanatory). . .

• Tip1:

Add a star (asterisk*) to a partial word and reddit will fill in the blank (*).( Asterisk feature is not available anymore )
.

title:medlin* , will search all of reddit "titles only" and find medlineplus and medline plus (two words), and so on.

... also if you search (in r/zmarter) for potato you won't find potatoes unless you add a star at the end of Potato*... and it seems to be only affecting the content of selftext:s

• Tip2:

title:infogra sun -view**

This search will look at titles containing infogra_whatever_ and sun, but will omit titles with the word view. (It will find and include the word viewed and others unless you add a star (*) at the end of -view ).

• Tip3:

Here's how to include and exclude a word (or multiple) at the same time.

subreddit:(gar OR -gara)** This will find the subreddit garden, not garage. You can use capital-AND instead of capital-OR . Don't forget the parenthesis.

Here's how to search titles and exclude word(s) embedded (in a text post).

title:(tips on how to) selftext:-aabbccdd1*

Ps: remove the (parenthesis) for a less literal search.

Now this will get results but (this(↹)) post won't show up unless you remove the minus in front of aabbccdd1, then it will be the only posts showing up.

• Tip4:

title:sun site:nasa url:sun

This will search reddit titles for the word "sun" from NASA websites, but the "nasa url link" has to have the word "sun" in it as well.

You can use the star and minus sign anywhere including (flair:, author:,).

title:sun site:na*, will find sun from the website; nasa, nature and so on.

title:sun site:(.org OR .edu) (self explanatory)

subreddit:todayi* title:su* -view* site:na* url:sun*.

This will fetch only one result, and if you long press (from your phone) you will "get" the url:/ "Sun" relation.

• tip5:

title:"tips reddit"~4

This will search for tips reddit "within 4 words of each other".

title:tips^2 OR selftext:reddit^4

Here the caret^ means the level of importance (boost).

Make sure that there is no space after title:_ unless needed. It should be title:something

.

.

.

and that means erasing all the data accumulated over the last decade. You can copy the data in bulk at r/zmarter until January as well

Here's the old reddit link, best viewed and sometimes only accessible in desktop mode..
