For (1), a userscript like this does wonders. There's also a way to replace new-reddit links with the old-version, but it takes a bit of tinkering to get it to work on google. // ==UserScript== // @name old_reddit // @description replaces www.reddit with old.reddit // @match *://www.reddit.com/* // ==/UserScript== const url = new URL(window.location.href); window.location.replace(`https://old.reddit.com${url.pathname}`)

Or just log in and tick the box that says "always use old reddit" and then it will always use old reddit.

  Until you accidentally click the "Get new reddit" in the top right corner. You can hide it with your adblocker though.

  That doesn't work for certain cases - e.g, if you're browsing Reddit in an icognito window. e.g, you want to browse for a gift for your SO and you're review-hunting, but you don't want it showing up in your sidebar as a recently viewed thread, or being in your history, or whatever - so you don't sign in. Userscripts/extensions force old.reddit.com regardless.

  > Or just log in and tick the box that says "always use old reddit" and then it will always use old reddit. Not sure if it's just me, but that setting seems to frequently get reset, as I tick that box maybe once a week/two weeks or something, but I keep getting sent to the new reddit at one point. Maybe I accidentally access new.reddit.com which forces the new layout and then reset the setting? In any case, I'm giving one of the new -> old redirection extensions a try now instead.

    It's never got reset for me. I've set it once and it's stayed applied across all my desktop browsers. I'm also pretty sure I've visited new.reddit.com and it didn't reset the setting. It doesn't apply to mobile but IMHO the new site is slightly less terrible on mobile than the old one anyways so that's my preference.

      if you love constant popups to install their (crappy) app, including not letting you use parts of the site at random, I guess.
