Summary
Dislike Reddit's redesign? Old Reddit Redirect will ensure that you always load the old (old.reddit.com) design instead.
Forces all reddit.com links to old.reddit.com, including navigating to the site, opening links or using old bookmarks.
Unlike the account setting for turning off the design, this works regardless of whether you are logged in or not or in incognito mode. The extension also blocks the EU cookie notice that forces a redirect to new reddit.
You can still access new reddit, if you need, by explicitly loading new.reddit.com.
Old Reddit Redirect is free and open source. The code is available at github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect. Pull requests are more than welcome.
