This is why I only use old.reddit.com. If they ever stop providing the old Reddit, I doubt I'll keep using it. Sure the old one isn't perfect, but I find the new one borderline unusable, even on a modern laptop.
There's a furniture chain here that has a website so terrible, I just gave up on trying to buy what I wanted from them. So much happening in JavaScript to make things happen on the page. I have to imagine it's also terribly written, since it freezes up the tab most of the time, and Firefox suggests killing the script.

- decrypt 5y agoI relate to this a lot. reddit.com struggles to load on my MacBook Air 2015, or a Windows with 9th gen i5 with 8GB RAM. I have an extension on my Firefox to always load the old reddit. There is an account-specific setting to always load old reddit, but there are times when I browse without an account.

- deckard1 5y agoReddit on mobile is a disaster. It's clearly designed with one goal in mind: pushing as many people to their app as possible. You can't even read threads without logging in.
