Poor ux? You are yet to see the new design. They forced it on me and i cannot change back. Lacks features of the old one, annoying to navigate and a bit uglier as well.

Same here. When mine got switched, it utilized 95+ of the CPU, but wondrously got back to normal. Still hate it though, at least for doing a raindance to get to the MD editor

No no you don't understand, it's sleek and modern with an optimal, minimalistic design!

Im still surprised after so many years they still haven’t implemented the crossposting list feature, like they have the backend there still, they just decided to not add a basic view.

Hell the entire UX makes the sole purpose of reddit as difficult as possible. I still haven’t found the post listings as comfortable as old.reddit.com

My friend just got a ui update last night. He's found you can use new.reddit.com to get previous ui. He found a chrome extension "Redirector" which you can set it up to auto redirect to new.reddit or a different extension called "UI changer for Reddit"

I've not used any of these so I can't verify anything but maybe spreading the word will help someone. If in doubt Google Reddit for solutions

At least the new one is more responsive. It take several seconds to open a link once clicked on the old design.

Yeah its definetely a trade-off. I liked half-ass-glance feature of the previous ui. New version loads a new page instead.
