## Description

<blockquote><code>THIS ADD-ON WILL NO LONGER BE MAINTAINED BUT WILL REMAIN AS-IS. I RECOMMEND USING <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tedditnet/" rel="nofollow">teddit.net</a></code></blockquote>
<b>old.Reddit</b> is a Firefox Add-on to restore the “old” Reddit design by forcing all Reddit links to use the <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/7473b6930d0436ca78363ab96c97440cca74bc869b5dc64a4544cf0e51f3f511/https%3A//old.reddit.com" rel="nofollow">https://old.reddit.com</a> subdomain. old.Reddit has a simpler design with less advertising and removes the outbound tracking from all external links.

This Add-on was created for personal use, but published to comply with Mozilla’s guidelines. Code was mostly copied from <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/0538433bbc79cbab2fb8c2aa2754c5b1bd790d5e1ecfb2f131929a1eecf63936/https%3A//github.com/amoore17/invidio-quick-redirect" rel="nofollow">Invidio Quick Redirect</a> by Austin Moore and MDN Web Docs.
