  As does putting .i on the end, to use the compact interface.

  The links are a bit spotty nowadays, and some of the newer features don’t work quite right, but it otherwise works a treat for most things.

  Just curious, because typing Reddit in at the end of searches magically makes the exact niche result you need appear, how do you open a post in old Reddit?

    There are FF addons that can do that for you. Otherwise you have to manually change the www into old.

    I’d be more likely to recommend you install a plugin like libredirect and use an alternative frontend to Reddit like libreddit. Get visibility into posts, spread your load across three alternative front end instances to avoid rate limiting, starve reddit of the tracking data they’re trying to direct people to their preferred front end for

        I just pick the fastest three working libreddit instances once pinged by libredirect

  uBO can bypass it too, if you don’t want to have to deal with old.reddit on mobile.
