As far as I know, they use things called Evercookies and it’s been a thing now too. If you have an Evercookie, then it won’t really matter what browser you use or even if you clean the cache and history. You have to deep scrub your system and practically all traces of your browser to even get rid of those.
And even so, basic networking is a no brainer when they can just flag your IP and it won’t even matter how many times you’ve done that process.
I don’t know then. I can browse Reddit just fine and I’m not using a VPN. It is interacting with the content and commenting I can’t do because auto-shadowban.
I can browse when I turn the VPN off. I no longer have an account nor the desire to interact with it’s content any way, but I do like to keep up with a few subreddits that have little to no content here.
