Old Reddit Redirect: Always Use Old Reddit Design

"Old Reddit Redirect" is a Chrome extension that guarantees you always view Reddit in its classic design (old.reddit.com). It redirects all reddit.com links to the old format, works seamlessly whether you are logged in or incognito, and includes useful features like removing the cookie banner and preventing raw image URLs from rendering as HTML. This free, open-source software can enhance your browsing experience on Reddit. Find the code here: https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect.
