Ensure Reddit always loads the old design

Old Reddit Redirect

Are you frustrated with Reddit's redesign? The Old Reddit Redirect Chrome extension ensures you always load the classic design at old.reddit.com. This extension automatically redirects all reddit.com links to the old format, whether you're logged in or browsing in incognito mode.

Not only does it simplify your Reddit experience by forcing the old interface, but it also comes with perks like removing the undismissable cookie banner, preventing raw image URLs from rendering as HTML, and rewiring gallery links to their older comment pages. Plus, it's completely free and open source! Check out the code here and feel free to contribute!
