You can only change "Opt out of the redesign" setting on the new site though, which is super annoying, and a pretty big signal https://new.reddit.com/settings/
And the opt-out button is missing on mobile. I think something changed a month or two back, that preference used to work.
Works fine for me. But I also run it in a dedicated full-fat profile I use only for Reddit, because I'm paranoid.
Using Reddit as a source of information via Google search either:
1. Has half the screen blocked or you have to dismiss modals to use the app 2. Breaks your search flow by switching to the Reddit app
I also found the global moderation surprisingly efficient. I got a few official replies about actions on content I reported. They seem interested in banning really bad users.
They also try really hard to replace private messages with the chat box, which seemingly doesn't work in third party apps. They added badges, friends and other game elements.
Reddit is trying to become a product for advertisers. It's pretty obvious to me.
