Here are two lightweight front-ends to Reddit:
Teddit
Teddit is an open-source alternative front-end to Reddit. It avoids Reddit tracking and ads.
Also, Teddit doesn’t require javascript and loads quickly. For example, the Teddit home page loads just 270 KB — much less than 24 MB of the Reddit home page.
LibReddit
LibReddit is similar to Teddit — but it’s even more minimalist. However, instances of LibReddit often go offline.
Here’s a description of LibReddit from the developer:
- Light: no JavaScript, no ads, no tracking, no bloat
- Private: all requests are proxied through the server, including media
- Secure: strong Content Security Policy prevents browser requests to Reddit
