Old Reddit Redirect
Ensure Reddit always loads the old design
Old Reddit Redirect - Firefox Add-On
"Old Reddit Redirect" is a Firefox add-on designed for individuals who prefer the old Reddit format. This add-on ensures that any time a user accesses Reddit, it loads in the old design rather than the site's newer version. What makes this add-on so handy is its ability to work whether you're logged in, in incognito mode, and even if your bookmarks are from the new site. You can switch to the new Reddit interface explicitly by visiting 'new.reddit.com'. Lastly, this add-on is free, open-source, and neutralises the EU cookie notice redirect to the new Reddit.
