defaultSortForReddit Firefox

defaultSortForReddit

This add-on will allow Reddit users to select which option they want to use to sort content when going to the home page, or individual subreddits. By default, it will sort to the "new" option. Designed to work with reddit.com, not old reddit.

Features & Capabilities

The defaultSortForReddit Chrome extension empowers Reddit users to choose their default content sorting preference on both the homepage and individual subreddits. By overriding Reddit's default "best" sorting option, this tool lets you automatically load posts sorted by your choice, such as "new," for a personalized browsing experience.

Designed specifically for the modern Reddit interface (reddit.com), this free and open-source extension seamlessly updates URLs to reflect your preferred sorting method, enhancing usability on desktop browsers. The project code is publicly available on GitHub for transparency and customization. Improve your Reddit browsing today by preventing the default "best" sort and tailoring content feed exactly how you want it!

Thank you, it still working everywhere but the home feed. That will always reset to Best. But any other settings works!
