> even though they regularly "forget" that you've opted-out of the redesign, on desktop

Has this been fixed? I was relying on a workaround, but forgot to set it up again when I reinstalled Windows a few months ago. I only realised that just now, when I went to check the details in order to recommend it. (I'm being vague because I'm unsure what it was; I think it was a Firefox extension.) I wouldn't have lasted this long if I was still frequently being sent back to new reddit.
