## Description

When visiting a reddit page which contains the "www" prefix, this addon allows you to easily redirect to the corresponding "old" reddit page.

This differs from other similar extensions, in that it doesn't automatically redirect you and instead only redirects on command.

Automatic redirection can be enabled in options.
