Summary

Analyze keywords

Navigate to a subreddit or user from the Omnibox, with subreddit suggestions through the Reddit api.

Typing 'r chrome' navigates to /r/chrome. Specify a page with /hot, /new, etc. 'r chrome/new' navigates to /r/chrome/new.

/top and /controversial can also specify a time period with /day, /all, etc. 'r chrome/top/all' navigates to /r/chrome/top?t=all

Leave the subreddit name blank to navigate to the frontpage. 'r ' navigates to the frontpage, while 'r /top/all' navigates to the top frontpage posts of all time.

You only have to include enough letters to specify which page to view. Typing 'r chrome/t/a' navigates to /r/chrome/top?t=all. The selected page is indicated as the first suggestion in the Omnibox, so just add more characters if it's wrong.

Navigate to a particular user with 'r u/name', using similar page breakdowns as in subreddit completion. Username suggestions are gathered from the friends list. For example, 'r u/spez//c/a' navigates to /u/spez/overview?sort=controversial&t=all

Respects 'include not safe for work (NSFW) search results in searches' option in Reddit user preferences.

User reviews

Absolute Garbage. But it actually works. make sure you turn off NSFW suggestions in your reddit settings. Don't want to miss click and end up opening a nsfw where you shouldn't
