materialdesignweb VS old-reddit-redirect

I wanted something that didn't require recompilation and allows me to extend built components. Like an Chip extends a Button. I needed something that allows modification of its HTML template and layering of CSS styles on top of an extended element's styles. Frameworks are pretty rigid in this regard and I wanted to write less code to make a smaller final deployment, instead of copy pasting or having to write complicated mixins and abstractions.

My phone is basically grayscale expect for really minor blue hue. I'm not sure why, and I know how the Material You theming works (built a framework around it).

If you're tired of it, I've been maintaining my MD framework for more than 4 and a half years since 2018. And before that I was working with Google on the AngularJS implementation in 2015. So I've been looking at and working on the same styles for over 7 years.

Here is the JS for one of the components. Only Chrome natively understands it right now. The alternative is to use a element referencing the CSS, but will call FOUC on the first fetch.

Sorry this doesn't answer the question you asked, but why not use the old reddit redirect extension?

Has been tested with other extensions disabled, but for context, I use Old Reddit Redirect and RES

I have a browser addon installed (chrome/firefox, link for anyone interested) that redirects to old reddit even when logged out e.g. in private windows, and it works perfectly 👌

I just use this extension to redirect it, also have RES setup along with Masstagger. On the phone I use RIF.

This breaks the Old Reddit Redirect extension, which uses this redirect mechanism to gracefully redirect direct links to galleries to the full old reddit post. See https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect/issues/72 for more context.
