There are extensions that will automatically redirect you. I use this one [0] for Firefox and haven't had any issues.

Interesting. I don’t think it’s a big enough annoyance for me to install yet another extension. Moreover, since I use old Reddit on my phone, I’d still have to change it back.

For things like this a userscript is better solution than a full-on extension. It is definitely worth it though, especially for mobile.

This might be your browser settings because this never happens for me.

I notice it only do that when I browse on the phone sometimes.

Strange. I never had that happen. Are you logged in to Reddit?

Yes. It’s in the preferences section only when you’re logged in. I notice it as I use multiple accounts somewhat sporadically and it seems like when I log into one after a while it’s almost always back on new Reddit. I’m not alone in complaining about this - plenty of threads on Reddit mentioning this.
