What this page is

This page quotes r/browsers's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-05. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/browsers's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

Want to post here? Get ThreadFox ($49): your AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex) reads a community's current rules, writes one post that fits and posts once from your own Chrome. No Claude? We'll post for you ($99 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

What its rules say about promotion

No affiliate/referral links
No affiliate/referral links for Brave or any other browser. No linking to pages with referral/affiliate links unless the page offers a normal link and provides the referral link separately where it's explicit that it's a referral link. Example: the page must not be sneaking a referral link into a link that looks like a regular link to a download or home page etc.
All 11 rules of r/browsers
  1. No Invite Offer/Request Posts
    r/browser users here find invite offer and invite request posts very annoying. If you have or need invites for a browser, post in that browser's subreddit instead.
  2. No affiliate/referral links
    No affiliate/referral links for Brave or any other browser. No linking to pages with referral/affiliate links unless the page offers a normal link and provides the referral link separately where it's explicit that it's a referral link. Example: the page must not be sneaking a referral link into a link that looks like a regular link to a download or home page etc.
  3. No memes
    Sure, memes are funny sometimes. But, users post them too often (including duplicates) just to instigate arguments.
  4. No posting FAQs or How-Tos
    If someone posts asking for help how to do something, that's fine to link to a FAQ/how-to in a comment to help them out. It's not okay to just make a post that links to a FAQ/how-to. Historically, posts like that have just been used for spam.
  5. Easy on browser company politics
    If you want to go crazy with posting browser company politics that have nothing or little to do with an actual browser, create an r/browserpolitics subreddit and post there instead. Also, Firefox is a browser and not a company. If you link to a post about Mozilla, the post title shouldn't say Firefox. We will see how this goes and if we have to ban these type of posts or not.
  6. Include link to original article if possible
    Some posts are just links to other sites that are reposting an original article as-is (or close to the same) just for ad revenue. If the page doesn't contain a link to the original article it's copying, please post it if possible.
  7. Make use of downvoting and reporting for spam
    If a post or comment is violating the rules, report it as much as possible and downvote it into oblivion until a mod can take care of it.
  8. No tier lists
    They're repetitive, spammy and annoying to subscribers.
  9. No more "Is Opera spyware?" posts
    There have been a zillion posts about this. Search for those, read them and respond to them if you want. See the dedicated thread at <https://reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/18jnxbt/is_opera_a_spyware/> where Opera Security responds and see this thread at <https://reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/18sup16/is_the_hate_of_opera_justified_a_little_breakdown/>.
  10. Stay on topic
    Don't derail posts with comments unrelated to the post.
  11. No Youtube to MP3 Converter Posts
    Video converter posts just attract spammers in the comments.

What the written rules don't show

  • Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
  • Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
  • The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.

Let your AI read the rules before it posts.

ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
