I don't want to use "X", I want to read updates from orgs and people who, unfortunately, don't post them elsewhere.

FYI web extension "Old Reddit Redirect" was just updated. Restores anonymous access and old reddit. I looked under the hood and it's just setting a "redesign_optout" cookie, so I'd say our days are numbered regardless.

My guess for privacy and anti-tracking is that trying to resist fingerprinting is, ironically, very fingerprintable.
