What? Reddit.com is essentially unusable since the update a few years(?) ago.

    You can also permanently turn off the new look while you're logged in.

  Don't you think 'essentially unusable' is quite an overstatement?

  I love how people totally ignore the million of daily users based on their personal experience. If it was essentialy unusable, there wouldn’t be millions of people on it.

    Yeah, it's the age old "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded".

  Open your browser dev tools and put this in the console: document.cookie = "redesign_optout=true; domain=.reddit.com; path=/; expires=Tue, 01 Jan 2030 00:00:00 GMT"; document.cookie = "listingsignupbar_dismiss=1; domain=.reddit.com; path=/; expires=Tue, 01 Jan 2030 00:00:00 GMT"; This reverts to old reddit without having an account, and without using old.reddit.com

  True. But you can still use old.reddit.com. The content is still there, it's just not accessible. So my process has been to search for 'keyword + reddit', click the best search result, then manually type in 'old' in place of 'www' in the url.

    That sounds tedious. You should at least be able to skip that last step with one of the various browser extensions to redirect to old.reddit.com automatically, e.g. this thing for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/old-reddit-redirect/dneaehbmnbhcippjikoajpoabadpodje https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/old-reddit-redirec...

      It is kind of tedious. Thanks for the link to the extension. I have used that extension at times, but in my case there are gaps where I'm either at work, on a different browser or device, where this has sometimes come up. But I agree, an extension is best.

  Third party apps link Sync for Android still work
