or for mobile

reddit.com/.compact

Both are low nuissance and both still work for me, although I am not sure if that is region based.

It doesn't put a big red "GET NEW REDDIT" in the upper left that does a single-click update of your account settings? What region are you in?

I just tried that and the top 40% of my screen was spent on a banner telling me, "You've been invited to try out Reddit's new mobile website!" Clicking that lead me to a page where both the top bar and the bottom section harass me to install their mobile app.

I use a uBlock Origin rule to hide the upper-left button.

Indeed I overlooked the fact that I am also using ff+ublock.

I'd also recommend Apollo if you're on iOS and are happy using an App to get your reddit fix.

Fast, reliable and well designed. I really enjoy using it.

I second this, it's a decent app! Only wish they would stop obsessing over new icons and fixed bugs instead.

Thirded, this app is great and fixes all my problems with Reddit on mobile.

.compact is a major improvement. Not as good as text.npr.org or lite.cnn.com, but a major improvement. Thanks!

Firefox and Chrome both have old reddit redirect addons that mean you never wind up seeing new reddit again.

I didn't know about that option. Bookmarked. Thanks for sharing!

Alternatively set your account to use the old style, and then adblock-away the banner ad to switch to the new style.
