Old Reddit Redirect

thank you very much

Barely works now. For instance it won't work on reddit domain: https://nr.reddit.com/r/worldnews/#www

Perfect! its exactly what ive wanted, im tired of editing the link every time i click on a post

new reddit sucks

Great extension! Does exactly what it says on the box. I would love a way to toggle it (for the very few times I want the new design - ex. created a post with multiple images)

Not working

If you ever feel like your job is worthless remember somebody designed new reddit.

Must have extension.

Add polls plz

PERFECT

Been using this extension for years, but recently when I go to my homepage, it signs me out and redirects me to a thread in /r/conservative. Gross. And it's not even the same thread — it's been different threads in different instances!

When i tried to go onto reddit i got signed out, and when i signed it said my password was wrong. was this extension hacked or something?

Thanks, for some reason Reddit stopped honoring my preference to opt out of the redesign, this extension works and is FOSS and simple, and gets rid of that massive "get new Reddit" button that fools me about once a week.

I like it when it works. But it has a semi-frequent bug of sometimes getting stuck where it will show you a subreddit/post as not logged in, then you try to click log-in and reddit will say "you are already logged in, redirecting you" and then shows the page again, still as not logged in - then the cycle just repeats until you visit some other subreddit or something when it finally shows you a page with you logged in, IDK I haven't fully figured it out. But I am going to go looking for another old reddit plugin because I've been annoyed by this bug 100 too many times

Throw that new Reddit layout in the garbage and bring back the classic

works perfectly! Thanks!

Review edit: Reddit has broken the use case below and has nothing to do with the extension itself. This extension seems to have partially broken as of October 2nd, 2024. It will still redirect to old.reddit.com but when attempting to navigate directly to a subreddit with a url in the format of "news.reddit.com", instead of redirecting to "old.reddit.com/r/news" it redirects to the user's home page of "old.reddit.com" and fails to navigate to the subreddit. I was going to open a pull request on the git page for the extension but it looks like the backend engineers over at reddit might've broken something. These urls are now returning 301 MOVED PERMANENTLY.

I absolutely need old Reddit to enable the Reddit Enhancement Suite extension. RES settings console → Subreddits → filteReddit (filteReddit) → Filter Subreddits From (filterSubredditsFrom) According to the RESoptions.filteReddit value in a RES backup file, I have over 2000 subreddits blocked from r/all. Without the extension, I think there's a limit to the number of subreddits that you can filter (100?). Other useful RES feature Default Comment Depth For especially front page posts with a lot of comments, it helps to use the Comment Depth limit feature to limit seeing replies to replies to replies. Default Comment Depth RES settings console → Comments → Custom Comment Depth (commentDepth) → Default Comment Depth (defaultCommentDepth) (Another option to limit comment depth is clickable JavaScript Bookmarklets that you put in your bookmark toolbar. Bookmark with the URL: javascript:$('.commentarea .child ').toggle();void 0 Only see the parent comments. javascript:$('.commentarea .child .child').toggle();void 0 Only see the parents and the replies to parents. )

Ever since the new design has been introduced it has simply not been working. They try to re-create the mobile app version on the official website and it's just so much unnecessary clutter and space. This extension ensures that you get the actually good and full experience of Reddit on PC. Let's just hope that Reddit continues support for the old version. As soon as they don't - I'm out.

Fantastic extension that works even in incognito mode. Couldn't use Reddit without it. Devs are quick to respond if you have an issue as well.

I cannot believe I am just discovering this add-in after years of always changing the URLs manually. Thank you thank you. I have idea what they're on about in new Reddit...

Stopped working today, gives this error "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure"

Seems to have stopped working. Was good while it lasted but seems the new UI is being forced on everyone now.

Thank you so much. I have used this for several years now. I love you.

It's very sad to see Reddit double down on its own enshittification over and over again.

10/10, but Reddit seems to have broken it again. Same login redirect issue as existed in May. Thanks for your excellent extension, Tom!

This is exactly what I needed. New reddit blows and has been blowing for years and it only gets worse.

My expectations are satisfied

Simple and elegant! Old Reddit Redirect worked for a long time... but a recent Reddit login change today seems to have broken this. Reddit seems to force you to use the new interface (ugh) to login at https://www.reddit.com/login/ , and the redirect back to "old" doesn't work as expected (or I need to reload the page). Tom, can you please confirm? Thanks for everything you do.

Perfect, works every time.

Got a new permission dialog and came to check if this was yet another extension to get sold off for data, but was happy to find that the maintainer has posted an explanation for this over on GitHub: https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect/issues/117. Great extension, and really appreciate the work you do keeping it up to date.

This was great when it worked, but recently it has stopped working outside incognito mode. At first I had to reload a page for it to take hold, but now, it doen't redirect at all.

Perfect extension for redditor. Very fast to loading pages.

Amazing and essentail, new Reddit is a nightmare and slower than literally any other website, the vids don't even load half the time.

Absolutely vital addon. Reddit's redesign is obnoxious garbage.

If you use this, you are a cultured individual.

RAHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH

can i use this but for new. not old.

Would not use reddit without it.

thanks. i dont use reddit but the website is obnoxious and reloads 3 times cause it forces google sign in

Started to notice a slight issue, On some subreddits, the old reddit format loads but there is a box in the middle of comments with other irrelevant topics. There is a "Hide" "X" which has to be clicked in order for it to go away. Previously, page links from search engines loaded without issues, and no interfering useless Box of other topics or titles right in the middle of comments. This behavior does not happen on every subreddit, but a few that are very popular, have heavy traffic and ads. This is not the extension's fault as it simply does the job of changing the URL to the old cleaner look. This is 100% Reddit's UI design team's fault, or rather, it is intentionally designed to distract from reading comments. Thank you for providing this extension.

Even with extension installed, it always loads Reddit's new version. Now you have to manually old.reddit.com on the search bar everytime you have to access it. As of today (06/08/2023), this app no longer works.

Does what its supposed to do and is kept its functionality intact through updates when needed (not often, but it happens). Also they have a github page of the code some thats some extra points for them.

Perfect, lightweight, does exactly what it needs to do

Why is it asking for new permissions after latest update?
