- Rated 5 out of 5by Rossa, 11 days agoEasy way to hide the side menu (among a few other useful features). Great add-on.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Basjohn, 2 months agoThe time has finally come.
This extension, this glorious glorious extension, a wet dream of mine and many, is the closest thing to a good Stylish replacement and makes New Reddit feel useable.
I hate dark mode, but I also hate light mode. Both cause differing eye issues, with this? I can finally make mid-mode (Er, we'll think of a more impressive name for it later) where nothing stands out blazingly bright enough to burn your retina (I have permanently dilated pupils). Of course this is a customiser so you can do whatever colours or brightness you fancy yourself, if mid-mode scares you with it's badass name and whatnot.
For the dev/s! There's only three real weaknesses in this right now that if you could solve would make it even more magical.
1) No profile options, so when you view your own profile the style sheet is fubard. At the very least a comment background colour setting for profiles would be nice.
2) Keep the extension window open until closed! Lots of fiddling and have to reopen the extension each time and scroll back to where I was is tiring.
3) Could you read a background image off of a specified local disk location instead of only through URL? I am using imgur for now but I have little faith in it.Developer response
posted 2 months agoAmazing review haha, thanks! :D I'm glad your retinas aren't burning anymore!
Regarding your points:
1) I'll add a new style option in a future update for the profile page comment background colour.
2) Unfortunately, I can't make the popup stay open, but I have a few options you can try:
a) I added a "shade" button at the top right of the popup window. This will "minimise" the popup so you can see underneath, but if you click outside, it will close.
b) Perhaps a better way, you can click the "Options Page" button to open the options in a new tab. You could then drag and detach the tab and put it on a second monitor, or resize it and switch between it and your main browser window, or just keep it as a tab.
c) Bonus option. Go to "about:config" (in the URL bar) and search for "ui.popup.disable_autohide" and toggle it to "true". This will keep the popup permanently open, but you can't close it unless you toggle the option back to "false". You could combine this with the shade option!
3) I'm afraid not, I can't access user local storage for security reasons. However, it is possible to convert images to base64 code, then that code can be stored safely in the extension local storage in the browser. I think the maximum an extension can store locally is 10MB, so you'd have to use a small image or reduce the file size. Browser sync storage is only 100KB, so syncing images is out of the question. I could automate this process and you simply just upload an image, but you won't be any to store many. - Rated 5 out of 5by VOIIIXI, 2 months agoAmazing add-on! Highly customizable and simple to understand. 5/5
- Rated 5 out of 5by Axolotl, 3 months agoIt's a shame the old-new reddit redirect doesn't work but it's not like that's the fault of the extension author.
Thank you for the option to modernise old-reddit, it's truly a lifesaver. I support it's development greatly. - Rated 5 out of 5by ayuxx, 3 months agoSince reddit forced the new new UI a few days ago, I've been wanting to change certain elements, remove some (eg: the recent section in the sidebar) and re-add some (eg: post flairs), and I was able to make the title font size smaller. Thanks dude.
edit: Actually, I seem to still be missing post flairs in my custom feeds. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18625271, 5 months agoHave been searching high and low for something that would HOLD and MAINTAIN Reddit Community and Comment sorting. This add-on does it! I am thrilled! Thank you SO much!
- Rated 5 out of 5by anthony, 6 months agoI've been a Redditor for over 14 years and for some reason always thought RES was the "best" or only Reddit enhancer. Since migrating over to Firefox recently, I've been starting to dig around the extensions and came across Reddit Enhancer. Long story short, I can't believe it's taken me THIS long to discover it! Undoubtedly it's the best and most powerful Reddit extension I've come across. Being able to debloat the UI and customize Reddit to the nth degree is a GAME CHANGER.
Can't speak highly enough about it. An absolute must for hardcore Reddit users. Big thank you to the devs! You did a helluva job on it!Developer response
posted 3 months agoThanks for the great review! RES was the OG, I wanted to fill the void for the newer versions of Reddit. I'm happy you enjoy the extension and find it powerful :) - Rated 5 out of 5by missy, 7 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kebyh, 7 months agoThank you! This is making the horrible new reddit design feel like it was before by using the option to remove the left side bar. Great work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Polaris, 7 months agoWas using it for long time for redirecting into new.reddit, was working perfectly... untill reddit removed new.reddit all together -_-
Now I'm getting used to old reddit, the "modernized" version and it works well.
Would it be possible to add the lower contrast version to it? (I mean similiar text-background colors to now discarded new.reddit) Thanks!Developer response
posted 7 months agoHi. Yeah it seems Reddit is phasing out new.reddit unfortunately :/
I'm happy you like the modernised version of old.reddit, I'll revisit it soon with some more improvements. I can start adding more style options for old reddit so you can pick whatever colours you want.
Thanks for the review! :) - Rated 5 out of 5by verifier13, 8 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by rram1220, 9 months agoI've been using this enhancer for a few months now and I love it. However I have an issue after the latest update on June 11, 2024. When I have a thread open in a topic I am reading the X to close the thread (A reply to the topic) is now gone. I used to be able to click on the X or click the back button on my mouse to close the reply. Please put the X back and allow me to click the back button on my mouse to go back. Otherwise this is a prefect enhancer.
Edit:
So after a week and not changing any settings the X Close option returned out of the blue. I feel this was an issue with Reddit and not this enhancer. I wanted to report back and change my rating to 5 stars.Developer response
posted 9 months agoHi, thanks for the review! I'm not quite sure I understand. Are you referring to when a comment thread is too long and it opens in a new page? I haven't changed anything which should have affected this, but I'll look into it. Which version of Reddit are you using, and do you still have the issue if you disable the addon?
Edit: That's good to hear it's back again. Thanks :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Alfredo Natale, 9 months agoVery good extension, I would like an option to hide suggested posts (not only promoted ones)
Developer response
posted 9 months agoHi, thanks for the review! You can disable recommendations in the reddit user settings, but I can add this as an option to the next version as well. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18218280, 10 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by ArneWeise, a year agoSeems broken as of today. Got the sidebar back and the thread list doesn't load any text, it's just idleing.
edit: sorry, should have changed this review, it started to work again after a day so I guess it was just a ghost in the machine. Thanks for the great addon!Developer response
posted 10 months agoI'm not sure I understand. If you still have this issue, could you create a new issue on the GitHub page, and I will try to help. Thanks!
Edit: Ah ok, no worries :) - Rated 5 out of 5by kid cuisine, a year agoYEEEEEES!!! This is amazing! I downloaded this extension hoping to improve the whole gallery issue Reddit has where you have to expand each image in a new tab (SO IRRITATING) and now it's a carousel I can click on!!
overall, my desktop Reddit looks so much nicer and cleaner now and it makes my chaotic ADHD brain very happy. THANK YOU. tossed you a tip on kofi for being a star! - Rated 5 out of 5by KCHii, a year ago
