How to Hide Promoted Posts on Reddit
Last updated: August 2026
Quick answer: Install the free Dehook extension and turn on Hide promoted posts. Sponsored content is filtered out of your Reddit feed automatically, leaving only the organic posts from communities you chose.
Promoted posts are ads wearing a community costume. They interrupt the exact mental mode Reddit is for: reading what people you chose to follow are saying.
One toggle
Dehook detects the promoted markers and filters those posts before they render. Combined with topic filtering, your feed becomes what Reddit promises on the label: the front page of your internet, not anyone else’s.
Remove promoted posts in 2 steps
- Install Dehook. Add the free extension to your browser.
- Turn on Hide promoted posts. One toggle in the popup. Sponsored posts disappear from your feed and Popular.

FAQ
Is this an ad blocker?
It is narrower: Dehook hides Reddit’s in-feed promoted posts specifically. For network-level ad blocking across the web you would pair it with a general ad blocker.
Why do promoted posts feel so intrusive on Reddit?
They are styled to look like organic posts, which makes them cognitive speed bumps: you start reading before realizing it is an ad. Removing them makes scrolling feel noticeably smoother.
Does this break Reddit?
No, the posts are simply not rendered in your browser. Everything else works normally.
Does Dehook filter other Reddit content too?
Yes, topic filtering works across your feed: block politics, drama, spoilers, or any subject. See the Reddit topic guide.
