My Reddit Companion is a powerful Chrome extension designed to seamlessly integrate Reddit into your browsing experience. Featuring a sleek, responsive UI built with Bootstrap 4, it displays a convenient info bar whenever you open a Reddit link—showing key details like score, title, subreddit, and comments along with actionable buttons such as upvote, downvote, save, and moderator controls.

The extension supports RES keyboard navigation, unread message notifications, dark theme, and customizable settings including transparent backgrounds and persistent bars. Moderator actions are enabled by default, and users can easily toggle the bar's position to prevent obstruction. Additionally, a quick browser action lets you open a new Reddit submission tab with URL and title pre-filled, streamlining your Reddit activity directly from the browser.

Works great but only in the Old reddit UI. Would love if it could be updated to support the New reddit layout.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

My Reddit Companion requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
