Issue with containers with old reddit redirect extension

Open curious-youna opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

Before submitting a bug report

  • [x] I updated to the latest version of Multi-Account Container and tested if I can reproduce the issue
  • [x] I searched for existing reports to see if it hasn't already been reported

Step to reproduce

  1. Have https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect installed along with this multi container extension (tab behavior to replace current tab is unchecked)
  2. Have a container dedicated to reddit (www.reddit.com AND old.reddit.com)
  3. Search google with site:reddit.com search query
  4. Click a link from reddit
  5. It opens a new reddit container tab with the reddit link AND also opens the reddit link with the non-reddit container tab

Actual behavior

Opens a reddit link on both container and non-container tab

Expected behavior

Should only open a new reddit link on a new container tab instead of opening it both on a non-container tab and container tab

for me on top of that also when you launch the browser, type reddit address in the adress bar it load the site in 2 tabs instead of one (one without container and one with temporary container, instead of one in temporary container). using old reddit extension and temporary containers in auto mode. something broke recently with the containers

I ran into this issue also. I wrote a tampermonkey script that redirects *.reddit.com/* to old.reddit.com/*

If you find issues parts of the site (like notifications), you can add an exclude to the script.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Redirect to Old Reddit
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.0
// @description  Redirect reddit.com to old.reddit.com
// @author       elephasmax
// @match        *://www.reddit.com/*
// @match        *://reddit.com/*
// @exclude      *://www.reddit.com/notifications*
// @run-at       document-start
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';
    const currentHost = window.location.hostname;
    if (!currentHost.startsWith('old.')) {
        const newUrl = window.location.href.replace(currentHost, 'old.reddit.com');
        window.location.replace(newUrl);
    }
})();

well i solved it by using an older version of old reddit redirect (1.8.2) instead of the new manifest v3 one
