Extension summary

This extension extends the omnibox to allow you to go to specific subreddits by simply typing "r", and autocompleting (Tab by default). You may even choose one of the four options : hot (default), top (all time), controversial (all time) and new.

Enjoy !

Version:

1.0 : initial release 1.1 : if typing from a new tab, it should open into the current tab instead of creating a new one. This extension doesn't access your history, but the tabs API only for this feature. 1.2 : fixed deprecated API call in last update
