## Description

When you visit a subreddit, a “Recent” section is added to the left sidebar, displaying all your recently visited subreddits. While this feature can be convenient, it might be less desirable if you’ve visited NSFW subreddits. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an option to remove this section through the site’s settings. Instead, I had to go into the site’s local storage and delete the key “recent-subreddits-store.” It’s not a huge hassle, but I prefer not having any history on my homepage.

With this simple plugin, you can easily toggle the visibility of your recent subreddits. Once installed, a Reddit icon will appear in your browser’s URL bar. Clicking this icon allows you to switch between hiding and viewing the “Recent” section. By default, the section will be hidden.
