RES Breakage Introduced with New Reddit Minor UI 'Refresh' Wider Rollout to More Users #5514

  • My browser:
      Microsoft Edge v123.0.2420.65 on Windows 11 Pro 23H2, build 22631.3374 (64-bit)
  • My RES version: v5.24.4
  • Am I in Reddit beta (yes/no:) No.

What's the problem?

     Some changes in the form of a minor 'refresh' to Reddit's interface (that really just needlessly applies mobile design to the desktop site, too,) recently exited beta and began seeing wider rollout/deployment to more users. These changes appear to break Reddit Enhancement Suite completely; its menus don't show up anywhere in the top header bar any more.

Work-arounds:

     I don't know how long this will continue to work for, but, for now, per either this post in the 'UI, change it back!' thread in r/help:

Force redirection to new.reddit.com

The Redirector breaks images opening in a new tab[ — ]they still load inline, however.

and/or this post in that same r/help thread:

To use previous new style (not the newest), type https://new.reddit.com in the address bar.

For links in the notifications and using previous new style (not the newest) everywhere, use extension Redirector - for Firefox, Chrome.

Use these options:

  • Description: Reddit redirect
  • Example URL: https://www.reddit.com/
  • Include pattern: https://www.reddit.com*
  • Redirect to: https://new.reddit.com$1
  • Pattern type: Wildcard
  • Pattern Description: Redirect reddit newest to new.reddit.com
  • Click…[']Show advanced options…[']
  • Exclude pattern: https://www.reddit.com/media*
  • Save

Known issue of Redirector: opening the image in new tab does not work, therefore using exception for images, these are opened with the newest style, but everywhere else previous new style is used.

Are there any related posts in https://github.com/honestbleeps/Reddit-Enhancement-Suite/issues or /r/RESissues?

     No, I didn't see any.

What other browser extensions are installed?

  • HP Wolf Security Extension (OEM-provided, pre-installed,) v7.3.7.16
  • Google Docs Offline v1.75.4
  • Redirector v3.5.3
  • 'Selectable — for fanfiction.net and more' v1.2

     RES could also have a theming setting to force the usage of pre-refresh new Reddit, like the one it has for old Reddit.

RES support on new UX was always best effort, with their latest changes we are unable to run on the new site and have no intention of doing so.

my RES used to edit the website UI so that i could change the collapsed comments style, the way sub-reddit posts gave previews. This has all stopped working recently. Is there a fix or has an update to reddit permanently broken this functionality for RES?
