Reddit is removing the ability to opt out of ad personalization based on Reddit activity and adding ability to restrict certain types of ads.

But old reddit has changed a lot. Bringing it close to the newer interface.

  • for what ever reason sometimes even internal links inside reddit opens up a new tab with the new interface

Old. Reddit still looks the exact same as it always has for me. I use Reddit enhancement suite so so maybe that’s it. Just turn off “use subreddits style” for every subreddit. Dark mode on. Ad blocker enabled. I don’t have the new tab issue. I can see that this won’t last forever though and eventually Reddit won’t exist to me anymore.
