Reddit Enhancer

A browser extension to tweak the user interface on Reddit.

Supports Version 1 (Old) and Version 3 (New New) of Reddit. Version 2 (Old New) has been discontinued, but features will still be supported for the time being while workarounds to get Old New UI back are still working.
Not all features support all versions.

Feel free to suggest new features and report any bugs on the Issues page.

Some features may stop working due to website updates. Please let me know if you find any issues.

I welcome any help if you would like to improve or contribute new language translations. Completion List
