posted 3 months agoThis bug was fixed a few months ago. If the add-on has not automatically updated then you may need to remove it and then reinstall it. - Rated 1 out of 5by mrklean, 9 months agoIs this some kind of protest or joke due to the third party apps protest on reddit?
Why on earth do all my Reddit links now redirect behind the scenes to https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fond2117tbwgb1.jpg instead of where the should land. The hover text in the bottom left for the URL even displays the correct URL, but having this extension enabled redirects me to the aforementioend "Nice_hat" link.
Below is a video of the issue - hope I can pass imgur links

posted 9 months agoThis is due to a strange redirect that is being performed on Reddit's end. A fix has been made in the extension to avoid this happening and should reach users as version 1.7.2 whenever it makes it through the approval system.

- Rated 1 out of 5by digital, 3 years agoWhy would anyone use this when you could just opt-out within Reddit itself?

posted 3 years agoThis was due to the .git folder and some screenshots being included in the bundle. They no longer are. All of the code is open source and available on https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect.- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15263231, 5 years ago
