## Description

Be Anonymous gives you instant control over how Reddit loads. With a single toggle it redirects you to the classic old.reddit.com layout so you can browse without login prompts, overlay popups, or blurred sensitive-content warnings. The extension automatically rewrites URLs for seamless switching, providing a cleaner, distraction-free experience.

Lightweight and fast, Be Anonymous requires no setup—just click to switch between the new and classic interfaces. Ideal for Reddit users who prefer privacy, fewer interruptions, and a simpler browsing flow, it removes forced logins and overlays while preserving full access to posts and comments.
