Extension summary

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 the lightbox element.

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 through rapidsave.com.

Reddit Chemo Filter feed posts by subreddit as well as removal of some advertisements.

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 Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

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.
