Reddit revolutionized—use a browser extension to enhance your favorite forum

Reddit is awash with great conversation (well, not all the time). There’s a Reddit message board for just about everybody—sports fans, gamers, poets inspired by food, people who like arms on birds—you get the idea. 

If you spend time on Reddit, there are ways to greatly augment your experience with a browser extension… 

Reddit Enhancement Suite

Used by more the two million Redditors across various browsers, Reddit Enhancement Suite is optimized to work with the beloved “old Reddit” (the website underwent a major redesign in 2018; you can still access the prior design by visiting old.reddit.com).

Old Reddit Redirect

Speaking of the former design, Old Reddit Redirect provides a straightforward function. It simply ensures that every Reddit page you visit will redirect to the old.reddit.com domain.

Sure, if you have a Reddit account the site gives you the option of using the old design, but with the browser extension you’ll get the old site regardless of being logged in or not. It’s also great for when you click Reddit links shared from the new domain. 

Reddit on YouTube

Bring Reddit with you to YouTube. Whenever you’re on a YouTube page, Reddit on YouTube searches for Reddit posts that link to the video and embeds those comments into the YouTube comment area.

You can easily toggle between Reddit and YouTube comments and select either one to be your default preference. 

If there are multiple Reddit threads about the video you’re watching, the extension will display them in tab form in the YouTube comment section.

Reddit Ad Remover

Sick of seeing so many “Promoted” posts and paid advertisements in the feed and sidebar? Reddit Ad Remover silences the noise.

The extension even blocks auto-play video ads, which is great for people who don’t appreciate sudden bursts of commercial sound. Hey, somebody should create a subreddit about this

Happy redditing, folks. Feel free to explore more news and media extensions on addons.mozilla.org.
