Reddit UI Redirector

This extension automatically redirects any URL from the standard reddit.com domain to the equivalent page on new.reddit.com. It is designed for users who prefer the modern interface of Reddit but find themselves frequently landing on the older layout when clicking links or typing URLs directly. By intercepting navigation to reddit.com, it seamlessly switches to the new.reddit.com version, ensuring a consistent browsing experience without manual intervention.

Features

• Automatic URL Redirection: Every time you visit a reddit.com link, whether from a search engine, bookmark, or direct entry, the extension instantly rewrites the URL to new.reddit.com. This works for all subpages, including subreddits, user profiles, and post threads.
• Simple and Lightweight: The extension has no configuration or settings. Once installed, it runs silently in the background, performing its single task without affecting browser performance or requiring user interaction.
• Compatibility Note: Due to limitations imposed by Reddit, the redirection only works when you are logged into your Reddit account. Additionally, it does not function in incognito or private browsing mode. To log in initially, you need to temporarily disable the extension, log into Reddit, then re-enable it for the redirect to work thereafter.

The extension is ideal for users who find the new Reddit layout more intuitive or feature-rich, but who often encounter the old design when navigating. By automating the switch, it saves time and reduces frustration, especially for those who rely on Reddit for daily browsing.
