Dubious Orange (ID: 0000003247f06b13) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/01/2023 I don't mind the new redesign. I mind that it means I can't use RES. RES is incredibly user-friendly, feels so good to use. It integrates into old.reddit so naturally sometimes I go to change my settings and realise what I thought were official reddit features are actually RES ones, further cementing that I will never want to leave it behind.

Sean Blair (ID: 000000d21206849a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/08/2023 What's even the point if it only works with the old reddit? So now you either have to manually change the URL every time you end up on reddit, or you need to implement some other workaround like another extension to automatically forward you to old reddit every time.
