- Rated 4 out of 5by Axolotl, 7 days agoIt's a shame the old-new reddit redirect doesn't work but it's not like that's the fault of the extension author.
Thank you for the option to modernise old-reddit, it's truly a lifesaver. I support it's development greatly.
1 star removed: the modernised old-reddit only comes in dark mode, as I switch between light and dark mode through the day, I sadly cannot use this. - Rated 5 out of 5by ayuxx, 10 days agoSince reddit forced the new new UI a few days ago, I've been wanting to change certain elements, remove some (eg: the recent section in the sidebar) and re-add some (eg: post flairs), and I was able to make the title font size smaller. Thanks dude.
edit: Actually, I seem to still be missing post flairs in my custom feeds. - Rated 3 out of 5by Lone Destroyer, 13 days agoReddit.com breaks and creates an error "The page isn’t redirecting properly". I had to clear my cache then dissable the ext and then relogin for it to work.

posted 13 days agoThis is Reddit forcing users onto the latest version. I'm surprised your work around worked tbh, but I guess it won't last :/ - Rated 4 out of 5by Sean, 14 days agonew.reddit.com no longer works and creates an error "The page isn’t redirecting properly"
Developer response
posted 13 days agoI'm afraid this is Reddit forcing users onto the latest version and it conflicts with the extension. Nothing I can do about it, sorry. You'll have to disable the redirect feature, or choose the Old UI. - Rated 2 out of 5by Futuristic, 16 days agoThe reason I got this extension was this:
"• Scroll to the next root comment with a click of a button."
I'm not able to find this feature in the settings, even after searching for it in the settings menu. Please advise how to enable this setting?Developer response
posted 15 days agoHi. The option is called "Show Navigation Buttons For The Next/Previous Root Comment" in "Productivity", or search for "root". This option, however, is only available for the latest and "old new" versions of reddit. I'll try and add support for old reddit. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13548239, 23 days agoNone of the settings appear to do anything. Sort by new doesn't work, open images on their own instead of embed doesn't work.
Developer response
posted 23 days agoHi. These settings should work. If refreshing your browser doesn't help, please report the issue on GitHub, along with browser and extension versions and I'll try to help figure out what's wrong. - Rated 3 out of 5by DannnTzy, 2 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by duooo, 2 months agoIt's nice, but some reason while scrolling on any page it loves to instantly open a post for no reason. Its also always the same post the moment I scroll close to it.
Developer response
posted 23 days agoThis is odd, I've not come across this behaviour before. How often does this happen? If you could report this issue on GitHub and let me know which settings you have enabled, that would help. Thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18625271, 3 months agoHave been searching high and low for something that would HOLD and MAINTAIN Reddit Community and Comment sorting. This add-on does it! I am thrilled! Thank you SO much!
- Rated 5 out of 5by anthony, 3 months agoI've been a Redditor for over 14 years and for some reason always thought RES was the "best" or only Reddit enhancer. Since migrating over to Firefox recently, I've been starting to dig around the extensions and came across Reddit Enhancer. Long story short, I can't believe it's taken me THIS long to discover it! Undoubtedly it's the best and most powerful Reddit extension I've come across. Being able to debloat the UI and customize Reddit to the nth degree is a GAME CHANGER.
Can't speak highly enough about it. An absolute must for hardcore Reddit users. Big thank you to the devs! You did a helluva job on it!Developer response
posted 23 days agoThanks for the great review! RES was the OG, I wanted to fill the void for the newer versions of Reddit. I'm happy you enjoy the extension and find it powerful :) Developer response
posted 4 months agoWhat doesn't work? If you are referring to the redirection to "Old New UI", Reddit is discontinuing this version and users will eventually loose access to it. There is nothing I can do about it unfortunately.- Rated 5 out of 5by missy, 4 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kebyh, 5 months agoThank you! This is making the horrible new reddit design feel like it was before by using the option to remove the left side bar. Great work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Polaris, 5 months agoWas using it for long time for redirecting into new.reddit, was working perfectly... untill reddit removed new.reddit all together -_-
Now I'm getting used to old reddit, the "modernized" version and it works well.
Would it be possible to add the lower contrast version to it? (I mean similiar text-background colors to now discarded new.reddit) Thanks!Developer response
posted 5 months agoHi. Yeah it seems Reddit is phasing out new.reddit unfortunately :/
I'm happy you like the modernised version of old.reddit, I'll revisit it soon with some more improvements. I can start adding more style options for old reddit so you can pick whatever colours you want.
Thanks for the review! :) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18530136, 5 months agoIt does not work anymore. It says: The page is not redirecting properly
Developer response
posted 5 months agoYou need to be signed into Reddit unfortunately for it to redirect to the Old New UI, otherwise Reddit will force a redirect to the latest version, causing this error, as it conflicts with the addon redirect function.
Edit: It seems that Reddit has now broken, or disabled, new.reddit.com for some users. Other redirect extensions are having a similar issue apparently. I'm not sure if this is something Reddit will fix, or if they are doing it deliberately to force users onto the latest version :/ - Rated 1 out of 5by fraterboots, 5 months ago

Im using newest reddit version. hopefully that can be fixed.

posted 6 months agoHi. Are you just left clicking on an image on a post, or trying to open the image in a new tab? Which version of Reddit are you using? - Rated 5 out of 5by rram1220, 6 months agoI've been using this enhancer for a few months now and I love it. However I have an issue after the latest update on June 11, 2024. When I have a thread open in a topic I am reading the X to close the thread (A reply to the topic) is now gone. I used to be able to click on the X or click the back button on my mouse to close the reply. Please put the X back and allow me to click the back button on my mouse to go back. Otherwise this is a prefect enhancer.
Edit:
So after a week and not changing any settings the X Close option returned out of the blue. I feel this was an issue with Reddit and not this enhancer. I wanted to report back and change my rating to 5 stars.Developer response
posted 6 months agoHi, thanks for the review! I'm not quite sure I understand. Are you referring to when a comment thread is too long and it opens in a new page? I haven't changed anything which should have affected this, but I'll look into it. Which version of Reddit are you using, and do you still have the issue if you disable the addon?
Edit: That's good to hear it's back again. Thanks :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18459010, 6 months agoOnce I install it, how do I activate and modify? Trying to modify the content - especially control "recents" on the sidebar. Thanks! - So great, thank you!!!!

posted 6 months agoHi! Click the extension in the extensions menu in the Firefox toolbar (jigsaw puzzle icon), and enable any setting you like in the Reddit Enhancer popup. You can pin the extension to the toolbar for easy access by clicking the cog icon on the extension in the extensions menu. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Alfredo Natale, 7 months agoVery good extension, I would like an option to hide suggested posts (not only promoted ones)
Developer response
posted 6 months agoHi, thanks for the review! You can disable recommendations in the reddit user settings, but I can add this as an option to the next version as well. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18218280, 7 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Surf, 7 months agoAs of today this extension causes my cpu to run at 70C+ at idle, disabled for now as it hasn't happened before. CPU: 7800x3d
Developer response
posted 7 months agoThis is unusual, sorry about that. If you still have this issue after restarting Firefox and re-enabling the addon, please create a new issue on the GitHub page so I can assist you further. The link is in the addon or on the store page. Thanks.
