A very useful user script to redirect to classic Reddit.

by

The new Reddit design is not the best in my opinion. I prefer the old look of the old.reddit.com layout. So this userscript will be very suitable.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Reddit Redirect to Old Reddit
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Redirects www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com
// @author       You
// @match        https://www.reddit.com/*
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==
 
(function() {
    'use strict';
 
    // Check if the current URL starts with 'www.reddit.com'
    if (window.location.hostname === 'www.reddit.com') {
        // Extract the path and query parameters from the URL
        const pathAndQuery = window.location.pathname + window.location.search;
 
        // Create the new URL with 'old.reddit.com'
        const newURL = 'https://old.reddit.com' + pathAndQuery;
 
        // Redirect the page to the new URL
        window.location.href = newURL;
    }
})();

This is a good way to handle redirecting to the older Reddit look. Install Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey extension in your browser. Create a new userscript and paste the code shown above.

Save the script, and it should automatically start redirecting www.reddit.com to old.reddit.com whenever you visit any page on Reddit.
