Issue with containers with old reddit redirect extension
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
- 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)
- Have a container dedicated to reddit (www.reddit.com AND old.reddit.com)
- Search google with site:reddit.com search query
- Click a link from reddit
- 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
Additional informations
No response
Provide a copy of Troubleshooting Information page (optional)
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
