# teddit
[teddit.net](https://teddit.net)
A free and open source alternative Reddit front-end focused on privacy.
Inspired by the [Nitter](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter) project.
* No JavaScript or ads
* All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Reddit
* Prevents Reddit from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
* Lightweight (teddit frontpage: ~30 HTTP requests with ~270 KB of data downloaded vs. Reddit frontpage: ~190 requests with ~24 MB)
