Install extension → Browse Reddit normally → All reddit.com URLs are automatically redirected to old.reddit.com via declarativeNetRequest rules → Cookie banner is hidden via content script CSS injection on old.reddit.com pages

Target users: Reddit users who prefer the classic/old Reddit design over the new redesign / Users who want a consistent Reddit experience without needing to be logged in

Extension is very small and simple — only 6 text files with straightforward declarativeNetRequest rules and a minimal CSS content script. Analysis is highly deterministic.
No background scripts, popup, options page, or dynamic JavaScript — reduces attack surface and ambiguity.

No paid features detected

Store description explicitly states 'Old Reddit Redirect is free and open source software.' Licensed under MIT. No payment platforms, billing APIs, subscription logic, premium feature gates, or upgrade UI exist in the source code. All features (URL redirection, cookie banner removal, gallery link rewriting) are available to all users unconditionally.

Login required: No
Reason: This is a pure URL redirect extension using declarativeNetRequest rules. No authentication, account creation, or login flow exists anywhere in the code. README.md line 12 explicitly states: 'Works regardless of whether you are logged in or not, and in incognito mode.' The static analysis keyword hit for 'sign in' in README.md line 10 is a false positive — the actual text is 'Dislike Reddit's redesign? Old Reddit Redirect will ensure that you always load the old (old.reddit.com) design instead.' No grep matches for 'login' or 'account' were found.
