That sounds super useful! Does it also change www.reddit.com/... to the archived OLD.reddit.com version? Those seem to work much better, yet most Google results are to the new interface.

Yes, it checks the url is old reddit, if not make it old reddit.

if (!url.match(/^(http(s)?:\/\/)old\.reddit\.com/)) {
    url = "old.reddit.com" + url.split("reddit.com")[1];
  }

Very nice! I'm currently on chromium so I can't use it – but it's one more reason to switch back to Firefox :)
