old-reddit-redirect

I have this installed, and it works reasonably well: https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect

> Version 3.0.0 has been rewritten from scratch to keep old Reddit working while logged out https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect

There is a browser addon https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect to view Old Reddit without an account.

Author of said extension here. I've been getting some reports of this happening in a few countries, namely Australia and the US so far. See https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect/issu....

There's a nice browser extension for that. I've been using it for a while now. https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect

There is no new format [1]. Just stop referring to reddit.com when you think about the site. Go to https://old.reddit.com, and redirect everyone you know to it. Use an extension to redirect when you're not logged in [2]. Also change your site preferences to keep the old version when you are logged in. Everything works as expected. Side note: If anyone in your life says "I like New Reddit", you have now identified a fundamental point of difference in taste with that person. Use this information wisely. Reddit needs to realize the asinine mistakes that they have made in this "redesign" that no one asked for. The moment they remove or screw with the old site in any way, I'm gone and never coming back. ---------------------------------------- [1] Just in case it isn't clear; this comment contains hyperbole for the sake of a little humor [2] h

I use Old Reddit Redirect by tomjwatson https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect

1) Use the extension which always redirects you to old.reddit.com (https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect). 2) Only browse all.reddit.com, as there's no telling when a new subreddit will pop up that you'll enjoy. 3) Use the Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) to filter out any subreddits you see that you're not interested in. I currently have 3,557 subreddits blocked. 4) Create backups of your RES settings in case of disaster. 5) Use the ability to tag users as often as you deem necessary, and block the truly heinous users. You'll see those tags pop up often.

These are not that well known, but I highly recommend them (Firefox): * Bypass Paywalls Clean - the name says it all - https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea... * Web Archives - easy access to cached websites, also useful for paywalls and sites heavy in JS - https://github.com/dessant/web-archives * Vimium - use keyboard for browsing - https://github.com/philc/vimium * SponsorBlock for YouTube - skip in-video ads - https://sponsor.ajay.app/ * Old Reddit Redirect - use old reddit design - https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect * Reddit Enhancement Suite - https://redditenhancementsuite.com/

I use old.reddit.com exclusively (automatically enforced by a browser extension[1]) and haven't experienced unexpected logouts. [1] https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect

If you access Reddit via https://old.reddit.com it's always the better UI. Bonus is that this works even if you're not signed in. There's a handy browser extension for automatically redirecting you if you click a link to Reddit's other domains: https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect If you'd like to disable custom subreddit styles even if you're not signed in, you can add these custom filters to uBlock Origin: old.reddit.com##^link[ref="applied_subreddit_stylesheet"] old.reddit.com##^#header-img-a old.reddit.com##^.infobar.listingsignupbar

>This makes me wonder if maybe the dev didn’t do it on purpose. I doubt this since the code is stolen from this Firefox and Chrome extension https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect but there's no acknowledgement of Edge in that GitHub project.
