I usually use Chrome for "everything", but lately I have wanted to use Firefox for more stuff, because I "politically" might not be aligned with Google.<p>So I fired up Firefox, browsed around and was quite happy with the experience, and then logged into OLD.reddit.com. (I can't stand the new UI).<p>After some "messing around", my account was suspended, with this message:<p><pre><code> Evading your ban in r/... from 2023-09-29 on a connected account. Moderators get to decide who can participate in their subreddits. Using alternate account(s) to circumvent a subreddit ban makes it more difficult for moderators to effectively run their communities and is a violation of Reddit's rules.

Yes, I was banned from a subreddit. And that was by bad, and is totally OK. Three weeks later I was banned for using a different browser, with no reason given.
I would suggest that you are not providing all the facts.<p>I am banned in 2 subreddits (run by the same group of mods). I was banned for breaking the rules. Fair enough. Like many people I have more than one reddit account and while logged into an alt made a comment on the sub I was banned from.<p>Different account name, same browser, probably the same IP and it was a perfectly innocuous comment. Nothing bad, nothing rule breaking. I assume the mods joined the dots, told the reddit admins and I was suspended from reddit for I think 2 days. Maybe 5. Maybe 7. I really cannot remember.<p>I also use Firefox, Firefox Dev, Edge, Safari and Brave to access reddit but FF is my main and old.reddit.com is always on.<p>What I suggest you did was to login with a different account and then comment in the sub(s) you are banned from. They suspended you which is fine - they do make this very clear. They got me, they got you.<p>It has nothing to do with browsers.
Why do you say you were suspended for using a different browser, when the message from Reddit says you were suspended for using a different account and evading a ban?
