Use Requestly to quickly switch back to old Reddit. A simple solution for those who prefer the classic Reddit interface.

Recently, Reddit has changed its user interface. The new change is not well taken by many redditors and they still prefer the old reddit look over the new one. Using simple requestly redirect rule, you can redirect the new reddit to the older one.

You can easily import our shared list to start using it or create a new rule manually

Here is how to achive that :-

  1. Install Requestly Browser Extension for your browser from the official website.
  2. Navigate to HTTP Rules and Create a new rule
  3. Create a redirect rule and fill the following fields
  • Set source condition to wildcard with value *www.reddit.com*
  • Set the destination to be $1old.reddit.com$2

Here is a screenshot of Redirect Rule you need to setup

New vs Old reddit

Disclaimer: The above mentioned approach can work for the time till old.reddit.com is available.Once reddit decides to take away old interface available on old.reddit.com, above approach won’t work.
