This extension will work but you have to do a little trick first.

There's a simple fix: create a subreddit. It can be private and something that no one ever has to see or that you ever have to use. Just the fact that it exists allows you to access the older site layout that you may've been using for the last 8 years.

Just click on "Create a community" on the left of the screen, choose a name (I simply used my username) and description, pick any 3 topics (doesn't matter, since the sub will be private), then choose "Private" and create.

From now on, like before, make sure that your URLs contain "new.reddit.com" instead of "www.reddit.com" which is what this extension does for you.

still works... for now

Unfortunately the extension no longer works and therefore the pre-2024 UI cannot be restored. This really annoys me

Aside from the share url problems, Im having a new problem:

I don't get any kind of error - it just won't redirect. Can you please fix this?

Running Firefox 125.0.2 (64-bit)

Never asked to read site data (even after refresh, restart, reinstall), meaning it never got permission to do the only thing it's supposed to do


You were faced with an issue and instead of being at all helpful you just said "it works fine for some people". Not even the first time you've used that line lol

Reddit broke after I installed this extension. Even though I am logged in, I can't access any page in the Reddit domain.

So far seems to work great. Reddit's UI update of 2024 is a nightmare. They had it right but then inexplicably decided to make it a privacy nightmare. The irony of needing a browser addon that accesses all your data on the site isn't lost on me but Reddit has everything you want private now on display for anyone to read over your shoulder. This, at least for now, resets the UI to what it should be.

It breaks Reddit page loading on my computer. You have to disable the extension then reeable it or Reddit won't load on my computer and it says "the page isn't redirecting correctly" on a blank white page.

I dislike the 2024 UI redesign so much I actually stopped using Reddit. Saw this add-on, tried it, it works (as of April 2024), highly recommended!

i hate the new layout so this saved my enjoyment of reddit! many thanks 07

The new-new reddit is absolutely disgusting. This add-on is a savior.

Works great, thanks!
