User reviews

For anyone using this for Reddit, my old filter stopped working, changes I made to make it work again. Example: https://soccer.reddit.com/ Inc. Pattern: https://*.reddit.com/ Redirect to: https://old.reddit.com/r/$1 I'd also recommend having this filter Example: https://www.reddit.com/ Pattern: https://www.reddit.com/ Redirect: https://old.reddit.com/ Make sure that the second filter is above the other one.

Hasn't worked since Dec 11, 2024. I emailed the developer about it, but he hasn't responded yet. Hopefully it will get fixed soon. And if it can't be fixed, update the extension description to say it no longer works and remove the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
