by mrklean, a year agoIs this some kind of protest or joke due to the third party apps protest on reddit?
Why on earth do all my Reddit links now redirect behind the scenes to https://old.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/media/nice_hat/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fond2117tbwgb1.jpg instead of where the should land. The hover text in the bottom left for the URL even displays the correct URL, but having this extension enabled redirects me to the aforementioend "Nice_hat" link.
Below is a video of the issue - hope I can pass imgur links

Developer response
posted a year agoThis is due to a strange redirect that is being performed on Reddit's end. A fix has been made in the extension to avoid this happening and should reach users as version 1.7.2 whenever it makes it through the approval system.
