Disable Reddit Chat with Adblockers
The new reddit chat has been a constant source of spam and frustration for me. I've yet to have a single actual conversation on it, and simply get bots trying to "hook up" with me on a regular basis. I've thus figured out adblock lists for the whole chat system
To get started, install your favorite Adblocker, I use uBlock Origin. Then, you can subscribe to my blocklist by clicking Subscribe. I've included the full commented blocklist below so you can see what I've done and how.
