I was going to buy you gold, but then I realized that would be a bad way of showing how I feel about this.

Instead, take this as a token of my support.[1] I agree with you though, should be simple enough to make a PR into RES or something that replaces all the out* links.

The confusion was that too many people were unchecking the boxes. So they removed the boxes.

Your comment:

Just so you are aware, if you force all links to go through out.reddit.com I will be making an extension to rectify that. And if I'm forced to waste my own time building that extension, I'm going to also make sure it f_cks with as much of your ad settings as humanly possible at the same time.
Quit being c_nts.

I mean this is an official subreddit, you'd have to assume you should be held to a higher standard of communication that isn't explicitly combatitive

We will no longer support the option to opt out of personalization of ads based on your Reddit activity.
Reddit’s commitment to user privacy isn’t changing.

In other news, Apple is no longer including a charger with their phones for "eNvIrOnMeNtAl ReAsOnS" and definitely not to make more money.

Maybe at some point you will edit this comment with a way that interested parties could access that extension, yeah? I'd imagine there would be quite a bit of support for it.

It's insulting is what it is. It's disgusting enough that it's being done, and doubly so that they're saying its for such obviously false and demeaning reasons.

Apparently, according the the dude who posted it, it os because they apparently didnt use it for personalization, so instead of removing it and making it not be a thing, they remove it make it be the only thing

looks like I'll be making an extension to break this "simplified" functionality.

Sorry you were banned. There's an extension called *Skip Redirect* that does this for all sites. I just tested it and it works on reddit too, both old and new. Versions are there for Chrome[1] and Firefox[2], and the source is on Github[3].

1: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/skip-redirect/jaoafjdoijdconemdmodhbfpianehlon?hl=en

2: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/skip-redirect/

3: https://github.com/sblask/webextension-skip-redirect

Found via searching extension "out.reddit.com"[4] and these links,

*Reddit started tracking the links we click. Here's a GreaseMonkey / Tampermonkey userscript to prevent that.*
