Extension summary

This fork of 4chan X provides many extra features from the original, including many new keybinds, quote threading¹, better performance², option to not have a fixed header, a better updater menu, image prefetching and thumbnail replacements, email emojis³, and tons more.

Want a change? Make an issue on our Github! We're not too stubborn to make anything optional.


¹ Quote threading rearranges the thread to be more readable when you first open it, so replies to a post will be placed right underneath it. It works with the updater, as well, and accounts for your viewport to ensure you never miss a post. ² Performance can be benchmarked by opening the sticky on /m/. ³ Emoji are small icons that appear next to the email field when you enter in a specific email. Enable them and look around the website to find them! They're especially popular on /g/ and /a/.
