Features & Capabilities

"Old New Reddit Redirect" is a Firefox add-on designed for users who prefer the familiar 'old-new' Reddit interface over the recently imposed 'new-new' design. This tool ensures that every Reddit link automatically redirects to new.reddit.com, allowing users to seamlessly continue using the layout they are accustomed to. It's an adaptation of Tom Watson's 'Old Reddit Redirect', customized for those who encounter Reddit's enforced beta version which does not adhere to user settings. Simple and effective, it restores your Reddit browsing experience with a single extension.

Is Old New Reddit Redirect Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Old New Reddit Redirect requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Old New Reddit Redirect may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
