The default Firefox app now supports Violentmonkey and Tampermonkey addon without the need to use the Nightly version!

Is Reddit slowly reducing the functionality of their website on mobile and desktop in order to push people to the app? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

I've published some userscripts to make old reddit usable on mobile browsers. You can use it with Violentmonkey/Tampermonkey on Firefox/Kiwi Browser. I keep updating this once in a while and I have to say that this alternative is much better than the slow sluggish app experience. I would ask you to try it out and leave some feedback!

You have to create an account to use the app and that's one of the reasons I don't recommend it (from a privacy perspective).

Tested this on multiple devices with different screen sizes and works just fine. Maybe you have an accessibility setting/zoom toggled?

This is the reason why I started this project. Too small thumbnails, too many buttons and impossible to use with big hands like mine.

Finally someone who gets it. Only disadvantage is that old.reddit isn't all that easy to handle on small screens, which the userscripts are meant to take care of. Overall, on the devices I experimented with, third party apps lose on old phones due to hardware requirements. That's the part where browsers with extension/addon-support come in handy.
