I started seeing this a few days ago. What is even more exasperating is that the default Reddit doesn't support tabs and it is INSANELY slow. I can stream 4K content on YouTube comfortably but I have to wait multiple seconds to open a text thread. Maybe I should try the Boost client...

If you're after tabs, there is, of course, a workaround. I use firefox on desktop and mobile, with extensions to redirect to old.reddit.com and i.reddit.com respectively. Because logins are saved, everything just... works. Opening links in a new tab included.

At least until only Reddit's new design is allowed, and I stop using the site.

I can't edit it now but I was talking about the default Reddit app for Android, not the new mobile website. The website was pretty fast for me. But because of these new changes you can't even view a subreddit without using the app.

I just installed Boost for Reddit and it is pretty fast. But thanks for letting me know about i.reddit.com, I didn't even know that exists. The old Reddit is still the best on desktops, I hope they don't kill it.
