Old Reddit Redirect by tomjwatson

Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 15918521, 6 years ago(X) Free & Open Source
Some old farts just don't like change, fortunately reddit does support them. This add-on is great if you block cookies and browse not logged in, as it will always work no matter your reddit preferences.
I believe that reddit's old design, while no longer Free & Open Source, hasn't changed much since it was, so this (old.*) version theoretically gives you more freedom.

- Rated 5 out of 5by MikuMemer, 19 hours agoThe recent ability to toggle to new.reddit on a click (as is also needed sometimes) is also great
- Rated 5 out of 5by GoodGollyMissMolly, 2 days agoThanks so much for this, and your prompt replies to comments. 5 stars for services above and beyond the call of duty!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Turmoil90, 2 days agoI had resigned myself to never using reddit again. But the update is AMAZING! Thank you so much for the fix.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Powershard, 2 days agoI also have this old.reddit.com forcing me to non-old www.reddit.com version as of today. Been using this for years.

posted 2 days agoIt's intentional. It's the only way for the extension to keep working like before. As long as it's still loading old Reddit then it's working as intended. If it's not, you may need to click the extension icon to grant permissions. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19722038, 2 days agoI don't want to leave a bad review or anything, i enjoyed this extension in the past but for some reason this isn't working for me. Right now it forces it to www.reddit.com instead of old, but it doesn't actually show the old interface, but the new one.

posted 2 days agoHave you definitely granted the new permissions? If you click the extension icon, a tab will appear that will ask you to grant the permissions. It should have shown on update, too. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20121338, 2 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by alemariusnexus, 2 days agoThis extension just made my week or maybe even month. With the recently added forced login I really thought I would have to stop using Reddit completely (and lose tons of valuable search engine results as well, by the way), but now it feels like back to normal again. Let's just hope they don't find a more permanent way to screw their old userbase.
Thank you! :) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12401086, 2 days agothe 3.0.0 version fucked up OldLander galleries with >1 image, these dont work on www.reddit.com.
Cant revert to a lower version on mobile so just removing this useless extension is the only way to use OldLander - Rated 5 out of 5by Pikachu95827395, 3 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by sinnohpiplup, 3 days agoWas great until the idiots at Reddit implemented a server side login wall. Old Reddit was better; stop forcing people to use your confusing ugly redesign.
Edit: It has now been fixed, not sure how long it'll last, however. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 20115493, 5 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18411361, 15 days agoThe addon is now useless without a Reddit account. It's a shame because it used to be very useful. I don't blame the addon developer as it's not his fault, but the addon is still useless for people not willing to register on Reddit. I hope the developer will find a workaround!
Edit: after a fix, it seems to work again. Thanks to the developer!Developer response
posted 6 days agoGood news! I've found a way for the extension to keep working. I've published a new version but it's still stuck in review. Hopefully it will be out soon.
Edit - it's out now - Rated 5 out of 5by The Cap'n, 18 days agoDoes exactly what it says, and doesn't push overly broad/invasive "read your data on all web sites" permissions, unlike >90% of extensions for Firefox. No excessive mem usage or stability issues either.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19947753, 3 months agonever thought Id need this in my life until I realized reddit kept changing my settings on me
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18200003, 4 months agoI think you should stop updating this extension to only support the newest Firefox version at all times. Its just a redirector, there is no reason it needs to only support the newest version of firefox at all times while dropping support for older ones.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Urg, 5 months agoI've had this installed for ages. 99.9% of the time, it's invisible. Then you use to a new browser and open reddit (or see someone else do so), and discover it's even more of a nightmare than you thought.
New Reddit even has more trackers. Good adblockers can catch them, but it's still nicer to just not have them there in the first place.
Anyway, this addon makes a significant portion of the internet better. It has never once conflicted with another addon (and I've tried a lot), crashed, or failed for me, and it's never bothered me with an ad or a donations pop-up or even a "please leave a review" pop-up. It's just there in the background, being quiet and very helpful.
Thank you for making and sharing this absolute banger of a free addon :) - Rated 5 out of 5by FerKing, 6 months agoWorks great, but recently there have been comments with pictures where said pictures fail to load, and instead it says "Processing img " with a string of letters and numbers. If I go to normal reddit it works, of course.
