You are about to read some bad English. and I am really sorry about it. I am not a native English speaker. This Developer does nothing to solve the problems there are many problems in this extension and even if I told him he doesn't do anything about it The problems are https://youtu.be/e6XZtVrv3xU Bug's that I found (see all the bugs in the video for the better explanation) 1. Popup will not work on gfycat links it will only work on imgur. 2. if we click on any link A white window will appear for a second. 3. Why it takes that much loading time on a 30 mbps internet connection.... see RES it will load in a second then why Popup takes too much of loading time ... 4. Rare bug this bug only happens on imgur 5. The popup will not appear on recently viewed links. 6.Load more comment button doesn't work. Feature Request's that's 50% of users want ... (See all the request in the video for better explanation) 1. I don’t know why you are opening the subreddit in the popup it should only be for comments or the main links ...why subreddits. if you don't want to remove these features then why don't you give user the choice to open only comments and link or to open everything. 2. Can u plz add a Night mode my eyes are really weak I only work with night mode on so plz 3. Can you plz give the user control on the scroll speed. the speed is okay on 100 to 200 comments but when there are 1000's of comments it will become really slow. laggy as you can see in the video. I told him everything about this extension. every single bug and every single feature request. but he is being an idiot doesn't have any talent or any desire to fix any bugs at all ...... Here is his GitHub link I posted every bug I found out and every feature request I thought the users will like. https://github.com/oguzgelal/RedditPopup/issues/10 and here is the screen shot of his mail http://i.imgur.com/H6wNWPN.png I know I was being hasty and I know coding takes time but he could reply too but in the end he was an idiot and Tell me guys where in the mail I was being bossy I just want to know when he was going to fix the bugs and he didn’t give me any reply too for almost 4 days really if that being bossy for you ...so yeah I am being bossy .......but still guys I just wanted to know the date and wanted to know if he willing to fix it or not. he should have reply something in 4 days but he didn't and then I impatiently message him about when he is going to fix the issues ...and he answered in the wrong way he handles the issue wrong way …………………. I Pity You Developer Pity you You are nothing but an idiot who don’t know how to handle the issues properly don’t how to reply someone and don’t really know how to fix the bugs And that’s the reason I hate you guys You made it and forget about it

Works. 'Open link' & 'open in new tab' options are appreciated. You can open the comments, user & subreddit links from the thread title in the popup. There's a similar extension called Reddit Lightbox which I've found loads articles consistently faster. It offers nothing more than the popup feature however.

Excellent! Hate opening images and links in new tabs. Very convenient.

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 Popup requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Reddit Popup may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
