Did you configure it as a mobile browser? Your numbers are about what I get if I configure it as desktop.

I did not I tested as a desktop, using a mobile does drop it down to ~2 MB.

I actually think that Reddit is just loading less of the posts due to the small screen.

firefox with ublock origin, privacy badger and overall stuff turned off: 16.17 / 11.44 MB. Haven't scrolled anywhere yet.
