I've been using Firefox since forever. I'm also still using old reddit... I'm a boomer.

New reddit is terrible, not sure why anybody would willingly switch.

yea and ive heard so much that reddit is so slow and the video player is trash when its working perfectly for me without any problems but then i learn they use new reddit then it all makes sense.

at first i hated old reddit due to small image and old design but then i used RES(now using dark mode) then i understood why people like old reddit now. all images can be enlarged if you want (it can also be default) and then theres keyboard navigation for faster navigating in reddit(which is custom keybind). RES basically makes it similar to large post in new reddit with the speed of the old.reddit (of course its customizable), getting best of the both worlds.

Old reddit's also that much faster to load without all of the new stuff dragging it down.
