I use SearxNG’s redirect functionality to redirect all reddit links in the search results to a Redlib instance. It won’t affect URL bar links but that’s okay, I don’t directly go to Reddit anymore.
You might appreciate Farside.link which catalogues all kinds of privacy-protecting front ends, and lets you bookmark a randomizer to automatically choose one for any service.
If you’re just lurking, RDX is a great alternative. An actual thick client and not a web app. I don’t know how the dev gets it to work but it’s great for when I just want to check my city’s sub.
These days if I wanna check reddit on my phone I just navigate to old.reddit on my phone’s browser.
I use Stealth for any niche groups over there that I still follow, and then if I really want to comment, I’ll login with old.reddit on my browser.

RIP I have an iPhone so I don’t get to use anything cool
For iOS just use this safari extension and access it through the browser.
The experience itself is pretty good.
Think about that next time you choose a phone.
redlib is also a pretty good front end: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
safereddit.com is one i used from time to time. there’s a bunch of other instances, as well

They’re starting to break functionality though. Sometimes old Reddit doesn’t load comments or work at all on specific subreddits.
