User reviews

It works great, but I can't switch to 2nd gen Reddit when I have a notification

29 of January : Update to this extension has restored my use for Reddit. It finally goes back to 2nd Gen as was always supposed to go. But I will say, the inject is "finnicky" and not completely solid. Once you start using the interject page that pops up, you can continue to use it and it's all fine. But within that page. Once you click on a link that opens up a new page, then it goes back to 3rd gen. Same if you refresh the page. It would be amazing if this got patched up to maintain the 2nd gen UI

Andre, thank you for creating this amazing extension! Being able to switch between Reddit UI generations is incredibly valuable, and you've made Reddit usable again for so many of us.
