I deleted my Reddit account which kept the old design on it. Now when I occasionally browse Reddit as a non-user, it looks like an awful implementation of material design with tons of wasted space. For example, I see about 1.5 cards per page on my 13" laptop. Who designed this? It is horrid and nearly unusable. Not that I'll be using Reddit that much anymore, but it's like they deprecated the desktop version for mobile-everywhere. There's a reason the form factors are different!

Interesting. New users can't access the old design at all?

I believe it's possible to set that as a default regardless of account age. But it's a PITA.

I'm very glad Firefox for Android supports the same extensions as the desktop version.

Last time I checked reddit you could open the dropdown menu from your account name, upper right corner, and OPT OUT of the new design.
