Old Reddit Switch Firefox

Old Reddit Switch

Looking for a way to go back to the old Reddit? Instantly switch from reddit.com to old.reddit.com with one click. Gain access to subreddits even without an account or logging in. Open Reddit tabs reload automatically to old UI when the switch is ON

Features & Capabilities

Important: The toggle only redirects from new Reddit to old Reddit. Turning it off while on old.reddit will not return you to new Reddit, and links clicked in old.reddit will continue opening there.

To go back to the new interface: simply replace old.reddit.com with www.reddit.com in the URL and press Enter.

(Alternatively, you can remove old. entirely; both will take you back to the new Reddit interface.)

Hate the new Reddit layout?

You’re not alone.

And yeah... it’s awful.

We’ve seen it too:

  • Sidebars eating your screen space
  • Everything crammed into a narrow column
  • Inconsistent clicks that open posts in new tabs… or don’t
And worst of all?

No easy way to go back.

This extension fixes all of that for you.

It automatically redirects reddit.com to old.reddit.com: ✅ A cleaner layout that doesn’t waste screen space ✅ None of Reddit’s confusing, bloated redesign decisions ✅ A quick toggle to turn it off anytime (if you ever want to)

You'll get access to non-private subreddits without having to create an account or logging in.

It even skips image previews and embedded media redirects so nothing breaks.

And yes, it reloads your open Reddit tabs so the switch feels instant.

Just turn it on and it’s like the new Reddit never existed.

Private by design.

All logic runs in your browser.

No ads. No tracking. No data collection.

Just a simple switch…

Back to old Reddit.

Heads up:

  • The toggle only redirects from new Reddit → old Reddit.
  • Turning the switch off while on old.reddit will not return you to new Reddit, and all links you click on old.reddit will continue to open in the old layout.
  • If you want to go back to the new Reddit interface, you need to navigate manually to reddit.com.
Tip: If something doesn’t work as expected, you can temporarily turn it off, then switch it back on anytime.

This extension stays free thanks to people like you. If it saved you time or made browsing easier, help keep it fast, private, and free. Support our development if you’d like

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