Does this mean it’s possible to make a safari extension to automatically take you to old.reddit.com whenever you hit a reddit link?



Just FYI, it's out on Chrome, Firefox and Edge too in addition to MacOS and iPadOS. Links on the site gosinkit[dot]com Disclaimer - I made this.


It is possible. There has been one on Chrome for years I use every day: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/old-reddit-redirect...


Just a quick heads up. I missed some DMs on Reddit because I have a FF extension to automatically redirect me to old.reddit.com because the notification indicator at the top wasn't lit.


I discovered the same thing, but when I saw the DMs I missed over the years I was glad to have missed them. They were all scammy.


I have been doing this using iOS Shortcuts and a regex for years. Except instead of old I redirect to a redlib instance.


StopTheMadness free iOS browser extension can redirect arbitrary URLs based on regex.


StopTheMadness didn’t fit my needs iirc. I have heard “Redirect Web for Safari” is a decent alternative solution though, have yet to try it


At least it has worked reliably for old.reddit and yt->invidious.
