This came as a big surprise to many users on places like r/help and r/bugs, including me. Reddit made this post last week on it: Say goodbye to new.reddit on Dec 11, 2024 : r/modnews.
Seeing this r/privacy post: sh.reddit (shreddit) is a Google spyware machine designed to de-anonymize you : r/privacy, New New reddit (2023 Reddit redesign) pings Google repatcha on every single page load. I saw the comments but its not clear how to counter this other than using old.reddit.com (which I like even less than 2023 reddit) or using 3rd party apps.
But isn’t New Redidt the same as Reddit?
If you don’t need to comment, just use Redlib. See privacyguides.org/en/frontends

Wdym?
There were 3 Reddit designs:
old.reddit.com: the original design- 2018 redesign
new.reddit.com: often referred to as just the redesign or “New Reddit”
- 2023 redesign
sh.reddit.com: often referred to “New New Reddit”
The 2018 redesign is what got removed and users using it are now redirected to the 2023 one which has received many complaints (like the 2018 redesign when it came out).
