site:old.reddit.com FTW! :-D edit: its a joke..it would save me manually changing the url, cuz I'm too lazy to install the plugin to auto-change it for me.

  Ever since Firefox from Android removed the ability to install any extension, I now have to edit it manually every f***ing time. Surely someone who works on Firefox for Android is reading this, please add that extension back!

    I wonder how many people actually use/prefer old.reddit.com ? Seems like everyone I know uses it ... Even the ones with reddit accounts.

      In our tech bubble, yes. Go to /r/popular to get a sense of the average Reddit user, they don’t use old.

        Is reddit's interface really better if you login? I've never bothered creating an account...

        No, the redesign is awful no matter what. old.Reddit.com works whether you’re logged in or not.

        The average anything user never bothers themselves to even look at settings. The average user just don't know any better. I bet a majority of people who do change settings and know about old.reddit, would primarily use old.reddit

    I recommend https://f-droid.org/packages/ml.docilealligator.infinityforreddit/ https://f-droid.org/packages/ml.docilealligator.infinityforr... It's much better than trying to use any version of reddit in the mobile browser.

      Does anyone know of a reddit viewer with tabs, like a web browser?

  On PC there are extensions to automatically rewrite Reddit.com to old.Reddit.com if you didn’t know, saves a lot of time and aggravation.

    yeah - too lazy/paranoid to deal with it. Luckily, reddit is a pretty small part of my search stuff. tbh, I think github is becoming one of my favorite 'search engines' / discovery sites. So much cool stuff buried in there ...

Even then it’s getting worse. Google is indexing “top posts” sidebars as well as the subreddit postured for a given timeframe. It’s polluting results worse by the day.
