I seem to ask these sorts of questions a lot, so, in short, Reddit recently got uglier for some reason like so many sites and services are doing these days and I'd like to change it back. Is there a script for Violent Monkey/Tamper Monkey/Grease Monkey that can change Reddit back to the older UI, not the old.reddit UI but the slightly older one they had just before putting in that left sidebar? Or even just the one from last year?

I've got a script that automatically switches Reddit to the old.reddit UI

function test(url){
    return !!url.match(/^(|http(s?):\/\/)(|www.)reddit.com(\/.*|$)/gim);
}

function getNewPagePlease(url){ return 'https://old.reddit.com' + url.split('reddit.com').pop(); }

function fixRedditStuff(){ var links = Array.prototype.slice.call(document.links, 0); links.filter(function(link){ if(test(link.href)){ var greatNewLink = getNewPagePlease(link.href); if(link.hasAttribute('data-outbound-url')) link.setAttribute('data-outbound-url', greatNewLink); link.setAttribute('href', greatNewLink); } }); }

if(test(window.location.href)){window.location.assign(getNewPagePlease(window.location.href));}

window.onload = fixRedditStuff; setInterval(fixRedditStuff, 50);

and have already attempted modifying it to no avail.

According to (in order of how I found them skimming the results that https://www.google.com/search?q=old+reddit+layout returned to me)

in order to use the old Reddit layout in your web browser go to https://old.reddit.com.

Considering the above there is no need to use a userscript.

Here how it looks using Chrome

https://old.reddit.com

Here how https://reddit.com looks
