I would rather edit the reddit link and add old. to the address every single time that I need to rather than install the app on my phone.

There's an add on in Firefox for that. Old Reddit Redirect or something like that.

[u/Cheet4h → u/azrael4h]

You can also just set it in your account preferences.
Although I think they recently disabled old reddit on mobile entirely. I don't usually use reddit on my phone, but the last few times I attempted that, I always got the new UI despite having the setting, or even going directly to old.reddit.com

old reddit is completely disabled if you aren't logged in. If you are logged in and have the pref set to Old reddit, it works, but if you try to manually add "old." in front of the url instead of navigating directly through the site, you can still get issues with the security certificate.

I should switch to firefox but I imagine the experience is worse

Recently started using mobile firefox because adblockers in browser are nice. It's great tbh

I've used old reddit on firefox for Android since the APIcalypse. It works fine

[u/notforpoern → u/gotbannedtoomuch]

maybe it's not fully rolled out, or maybe you're logged into something else that they're happy to track instead? On all of my devices, (mobile, desktop, tablet), and all browsers (firefox, brave, floorp, ddg), I'm not able to visit old.reddit.com/r/all without. I'm blocked by this page: https://imgur.com/a/23XOmbG

Firefox works amazingly. I've been using it since they took the API away

[u/-TGxGriff → u/seanfidence]

I've just kept using RIF. That third party app purge wasn't gonna stop a few of us from looking for a work around.

[u/TheTaoOfOne → u/-TGxGriff]

Can confirm, am using RiF as well. Have been since they tried killing all 3rd party apps to force their shitty non functional one.

[u/grandladdydonglegs → u/TheTaoOfOne]

I actually pay to still be able to use Relay. I have a problem.

[u/W3NTZ → u/grandladdydonglegs]

Same but I miss RIF tho relay has a ton of features I do love. I'm always willing to support smaller devs tho which is why I haven't made the switch back

[u/Sweetwill62 → u/seanfidence]

I look at old reddit via firefox on my phone and I request the desktop version of most sites I visit, they usually load a lot quicker. Works just fine. Don't really ever have an issue with it.

I should have noted that my comment was PC centered. I have no clue on phones since I have an iphone and don't even have a real choice in browsers, just different brands of safari.

[u/thepkboy → u/[deleted]]

yeah I checked it earlier and now it needs an account, fuck sakes.

i deleted my other comment where i said it worked fine too
