For people don't know how slow it is. This is a issue I opened 4 month ago and hasn't been answered.

I didn't know Firefox had the capability to post performance traces like this!

Also... I wouldn't have thought that by default it would include screenshots of potentially private/sensitive information such as the the titles of other open tabs.

The resolution is very small anyway, I don't think people would be able to see the title. Besides that, the screenshot (or other track) can be trimmed by just unselect the track when upload the profile. (The default does not contain track of other sites)

Even old.reddit.com is annoying enough that I head first to https://teddit.net/ Principle advantage being that Reddit URLs are rewritten such that once on the site, you stay there. This isn't the case for either old.reddit.com or the even lighter alternative i.reddit.com, for which reverts back to www keep occurring.

FWIW if you're logged in you can go to your profile and make it so www.reddit.com just shows old reddit

Trust me, I've tried that. It doesn't work.

Again: teddit.net solves that problem. RELIABLY

There's the added bonus that I can't vote or comment. Yes, bonus.

I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you, but it's been working reliably for me ever since the redesign was introduced.

My hack is to:

1. Not log in to Reddit unless I must.

2. To use old.reddit.com exclusively. Or another which won't revert to www.reddit.com

The mechanism you describe fails on both counts.
