You can still use old.reddit, you just need to be logged in. That said, if old.reddit ever went away altogether I would stop using it too.

[et-al]

Logging in is enough friction to prevent me from browsing casually. Especially when I'm on a work computer.

One benefit is my productivity had a temporary boost this week until I find another site to read.

Maybe RES (or other extension) should gain a mode where new reddit is rendered in the style of old reddit?

For you to give that good-good user tracking data you do.

You can do it without logging in too if you use an extension that autoredirects. That's what I do. I use a FF extension called Old Reddit Redirect.

Doesn't work for me. Seems like this login gate for old.reddit is being progressively rolled out.

[encrypted_bird]

That is extremely unfortunate. :(

The day I can no longer use Old Reddit is the day I stop using Reddit.

Same here. I can't stand the new Reddit. It spins up fans on my $3500 laptop, freezes and loads very slow. Once the old one stops working, I will have to stop using it.

I'm able to browse old.reddit.com without logging in right now.

Maybe it's for specific subs?

Not yet, but it's coming to old.reddit.com globally soon: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/06/reddit-will-require-...

Just got redirected to download their app after being redirected to the new site.
