Most reasonable countries have the same defense against that as you get against someone stabbing you. I don't see many security professionals insisting that you have to walk around in plate mail for some reason.

There is a cookie that you can set to still get the old interface without login on www.reddit.com (but NOT on old.reddit.com) which some of the deshittify-redditi extensions have added. But I wouldn't expect that to stick around - it&#
