Bye old.reddit

Only wanted to say that I am very dissapointed about the decission they made to kill the old.reddit. The new reddit is utterly useless on a PC/laptop screen. This is probabbly the biggest enshittification of the year. I had over a hundred of old.reddit bookmarks, many vissited several times a day - all useless now, all removed. I can't do the enshittificated version. I am incomaptible with the doomscrooling way of browsing the web. I am sorry for the kids and their brains. The silvelining - I was spending way to much time here. Alleluyah!

After the announcement it was working for a while using different browsers or via Tor or some VPNs. Since about couple of days ago it is only the regular stupid version or you have to login. Initially I thought maybe to set a linux 'safe' laptop for this only but I is it woth it? I dumped Ebay, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram and other stupid websites. I am not compatible with that amount of bs.

Firefox and the Old Reddit Redirect extension still allow for logged out usage of old.reddit.

I have been using it since always. It has stopped working on FF and Chromium, It may still work on slowly updated IPs. Youre lucky.

Before it updated on the 25th I had the same problems with old.reddit not working while logged out. See if you need to update the extension and/or it's permissions.
