hey everyone. if you want to post links or discuss the Reddit blackout, its aftermath, and what’s happening going forward, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy! thanks! we’ll see if we need to cycle the thread again before the end of this week, but i don’t know that we’ll need to
I created this addon for Firefox to redirect all reddit pages to archive.org.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-to-wayback-machine/
(I’d need to update to MV3 to port it to chrome, and I don’t know yet how have this functionality without webRequest)
That sounds super useful! Does it also change www.reddit.com/… to the archived OLD.reddit.com version? Those seem to work much better, yet most Google results are to the new interface.
Yes, it checks the url is old reddit, if not make it old reddit.
if (!url.match(/^(http(s)?:\/\/)old\.reddit\.com/)) { url = "old.reddit.com" + url.split("reddit.com")[1]; }Very nice! I’m currently on chromium so I can’t use it – but it’s one more reason to switch back to Firefox :)
This is awesome, thank you!
