Reddit Expand is a handy Chrome extension that enhances your Reddit browsing experience by adding an “Expand” option next to post titles on the front page or within subreddits. Clicking this option opens a full preview of the post inline, eliminating the need to open multiple tabs. The preview window can be resized from its bottom-right corner for convenience, and easily closed with another click on "Expand." Users can customize settings by clicking the extension icon while on Reddit.

Note that some posts linking to external websites may not display preview content due to iframe restrictions by those sites, such as YouTube. Powered by the jQuery library, Reddit Expand aims to streamline Reddit navigation and improve productivity for users who wish to quickly glance through posts without leaving the page.

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.

Reddit Expand requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
