Reddit Enhancements Lite (RELite)

View/scroll reddit without killing your browser.

Reddit Enhancements Lite (RELite) is a lightweight Chrome extension designed as an efficient alternative to Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES). It enables infinite scrolling and inline viewing of images, GIFs, YouTube videos, and Imgur albums directly on Reddit, enhancing your browsing experience without slowing down your browser.

RELite dramatically reduces resource consumption, using 43.6% less memory and 34.1% less CPU than RES during tests with 1000 loaded items. It also respects user privacy by requiring minimal permissions and blocking Reddit's outbound link tracking. With features like image/video resizing and preloading, RELite ensures smooth, uninterrupted Reddit exploration. For optimal performance, disable RES while using RELite. Contact reliteapp@gmail.com for feedback or feature requests.
