Comment:

 Hrm.  The [https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-
 everywhere.git/commitdiff/3f3cacd37d3a87d79ac3f840ecc8419972091882 commit
 that removed it] was back in late Feb, but it was never merged into the
 2.x branch so you're just seeing it now that 3.x is stable.

 There have been lots of commits to the Reddit ruleset(s) since then.  It's
 currently possible to get full reddit encryption using
 [https://www.eff.org/files/https-everywhere-4.0development.1.xpi
 4.0development.1], enabling the "Reddit (certificate warnings)" ruleset,
 and accepting the Akamai cert you'd see at https://www.reddit.com.

 You won't have that option in 3.0.1 because I deleted all the rulesets
 that are marked as mismatches/cert warnings, to save RAM and improve
 startup time.  I'd be happy to add it back if you think a lot of people
 want it.
