Not sure if it's just me, but that setting seems to frequently get reset, as I tick that box maybe once a week/two weeks or something, but I keep getting sent to the new reddit at one point. Maybe I accidentally access new.reddit.com which forces the new layout and then reset the setting?

In any case, I'm giving one of the new -> old redirection extensions a try now instead.

It's never got reset for me. I've set it once and it's stayed applied across all my desktop browsers. I'm also pretty sure I've visited new.reddit.com and it didn't reset the setting.

It doesn't apply to mobile but IMHO the new site is slightly less terrible on mobile than the old one anyways so that's my preference.

if you love constant popups to install their (crappy) app, including not letting you use parts of the site at random, I guess.
