For Firefox:

UBlock Origin, of course.

And that extension that turns all Reddit pages into old Reddit pages. (I hate the redesign with a passion.)

I use Tampermonkey with a rule that turns all reddit links to old.reddit. ubo for disabling js on reddit

Just curious but how does disabling javascript on Reddit change the experience? Iir, diaabling it can break certain websites.

It won't allow reddit to have any tracking or analytics since no JS is able to run, it's practically a static html site. As for your experience, it works pretty much the same without JS

Am I mistaken, or would it make Reddit load slightly faster and use less resources? I might just give it a go.

Reddit Enhancement Suite I believe is the one you are referencing.

No, this one is on life support and it's the one which injects extra controls for image links, Twitter links and whatnot. The one you are thinking of is old Reddit redirect. And yeah, couldn't use Reddit without it

On Android I'm using Old Reddit Redirect. (I imagine just changing the URL is simpler, besides I'm not there enough to desire tons of features... I don't even have a Reddit acct. currently.)

On PC I just use old reddit boolmarks, and a bookmarklet that toggles to old Reddit :D
