--v2.0.0 early release--

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 and some features (e.g. the usertags) are not yet ported. 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.

User reviews

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

Pros

All the features of this addon work perfectly for the New Reddit Experience.
Simple and works great for mod tools, especially banning subs.

Cons

Doesn't seem to work properly; issues with sidebars disappearing.
Video download buttons are not showing up for multiple users.
Not open source and lacks comprehensive use case coverage.

Most mentioned

Issues with functionality and features not working as expected.
Desire for a toggle feature for threadlines.
Need for more features similar to the old Reddit Enhancement Suite.

User reviews

Doesn't seem to work anymore. With this on, both sidebars on Reddit vanish, with no way to restore them. Can't even find the menu for it anywhere. No icon on toolbar, nowhere in RES options, not even an "extension options" link in the extension details page. I think it's completely borked.
