Reddit tracks every outbound link you click, even if you are logged out. Protect yourself from tracking with this extension.
Stop Tracking Me on Reddit Extension
I made this because there wasn't any other Chrome extension that would block Reddit link tracking in August, 2016. Although you can turn off tracking in your user preferences, that is only useful if you are logged in. This extension disables tracking even when logged out.
Be aware that this only stops Reddit's outbound link tracking. This should be used in combination with other extensions that block other types of tracking.
* HTTP Everywhere - Always view Reddit on https://
* Privacy Badger - Block more trackers
* Adblock - Block even more trackers
