Old New Reddit Redirect

Ensure Reddit always loads the old-new design

Old New Reddit Redirect - Restore Preferred Layout

"Old New Reddit Redirect" is a Firefox add-on designed for users who prefer the familiar 'old-new' Reddit interface over the recently imposed 'new-new' design. This tool ensures that every Reddit link automatically redirects to new.reddit.com, allowing users to seamlessly continue using the layout they are accustomed to. It's an adaptation of Tom Watson's 'Old Reddit Redirect', customized for those who encounter Reddit's enforced beta version which does not adhere to user settings. Simple and effective, it restores your Reddit browsing experience with a single extension.

Great solution to getting rid of the "new" new reddit that they're trying to force on us without going back to old reddit. Before turning on this addon, make sure you log in first. After that, you'll never see that terrible ui again.
