What it does

This script dynamically scans any webpage you visit for links pointing to the standard Reddit domains (www.reddit.com or reddit.com) and replaces them entirely with old.reddit.com directly within the anchor tags (href).

By changing the URL right in the DOM, you bypass the need for any middle-man browser redirects after clicking. You will seamlessly go straight to Old Reddit.

Features

  • Zero Redirects: Alters the links before you click them, saving loading time and avoiding redirect flashes.
  • Dynamic Content Support: Includes a built-in MutationObserver. If a site loads new links via infinite scrolling (e.g., Twitter, forums, search engines), the script will automatically process and swap those new links on the fly.
  • Broad Compatibility: Runs quietly on all URLs (*://*/*) to ensure links are caught and formatted regardless of what website you found them on.

Performance

The logic makes use of native, lightweight DOM query selectors, ensuring minimal impact on browser performance while reliably detecting target URLs.
