Add-on summary

Newer-New Reddit and nREC v2

As of 2024 Aug 26 Reddit officially took down the (older-)new UI offline, replacing it with the newer-new UI, and the new.reddit.com bypass doesn't work to bring back the older-new UI. (Yeah the terminology is confusing, much like many of Reddit's decisions..) As expected, this broke the core of how nREC worked, since it parses through and monitors the HTML DOM.

Version 2.0.0 has been rushed to an early release to accommodate these changes and work with the newer-new UI. Things may still be a bit glitchy as we iron out the bugs. But I'll try to keep regular fixes incoming.

Thanks for your support and patience. If you liked this extension and want to keep using it, consider donating @ https://ko-fi.com/F1F25YGLA

FEATURES:

  • Wide mode. Manually set the max-width (for the main container and right-sidebar).
  • Hide trending and sidebars. Add options to hide the trending strip, left navbar, right sidebar, and/or subreddit sidebar.
  • Blur NSFW. Quick option to blur NSFW thumbnails. Not a replacement for the similar option in the Reddit settings but provides a shortcut to quick turn on/off should the need arise without having to navigate through the settings.
  • Fix image previews. Clicking on image previews take you directly to the image itself, instead of to the comment section. Image preview heights in gallery mode are fixed such that images no longer get vertically cut off.
  • Direct image links. Bypass Reddit forcing direct image links onto a preview page/template.
  • Add video download links. When viewing a video, download links are provided, using both a direct link and a link to download through rapidsave.com.
  • Reddit Chemo. Filter feed posts by subreddit as well as removal of some advertisements.
  • User Tags. Add tags to usernames.
USAGE:

On installation, most features are enabled by default. However, features like Reddit Chemo and user tags need to be populated to see their full effects. Features can be enabled, disabled, and modified through the extension's UI (accessed by clicking the extension logo on the browser Toolbar).

Most features, such as dark mode, hide trending and sidebars, blur nsfw, fix image previews, direct image links, and add video download links can simply be toggled in the UI using the various controls.
