[Solved] Is there a way to get Firefox to redirect me to the old Reddit without using an extension or logging in? (leminal.space)

I use the term "Reddit" when I search for things a lot so I can get human responses to my questions but Reddit blocks VPN connections. Old reddit works though. All you need to do is change www. to old. I know extensions exist for it but I don't really want to install one for this and I no longer have an account on Reddit to set it in my preferences.

Edit: I think @chagall@lemmy.world gave me what I was looking for with REDIRECTOR. It's open source and has a privacy policy of not using analytics. It's an extension but it seems pretty reputable with a decent community.

I'm using Reddit in the same way I use Yahoo answers. It's an option to passively get answers to questions I have without routing through search engine optimized websites trying to sell me something. If something better comes along I'll definitely use it.

I'm downvoting your comment because it doesn't add anything to the conversation or my question.
