## Description

A Firefox WebExtension to display Reddit within the Firefox sidebar. This extension adds a new section to the sidebar which contains the old compact version of Reddit. It also adds a shortcut, and a button toggle within the toolbar.

<b>Why I Use <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/a74b5a42432da2b96a72be2999ec9835e1f6ba8e35f54edc52cb71d18abf7d03/http%3A//old.reddit.com/.compact" rel="nofollow">old.reddit.com/.compact</a></b>
Because after running some tests, it is currently the best Reddit experience within the sidebar.

<b>How to Use</b><ol><li>Toggle the sidebar by pressing Alt+Shift+8. This shortcut can be changed by going to Add-ons -&gt; Reddit in Sidebar -&gt; Options.</li><li>If you prefer buttons over shortcuts, there is a toolbar button you can press to toggle the sidebar.</li></ol><b>How to Unlock Firefox Sidebar Width</b>
The sidebar's width is <i>locked by default</i> in Firefox. Unfortunately, the sidebar is very restrictive and I can only do so much to enhance the functionality of this extension. I put together a step-by-step guide on how to unlock it over at <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/f1a530035c7ece771b5be81e4f6075898262ce24f4f22580c9d5774371b1883b/https%3A//stressed.dev/unlock-max-width-of-firefoxs-sidebar/" rel="nofollow">my blog</a>.

<b>Disclaimer</b>
This Add-on is primarily for personal use; a personal project if you will. I'm just trying to use Reddit on the Firefox sidebar. This add-on just launches their webapp in the sidebar. This extension is an independent project, has no relationship, and is not affiliated to Reddit in any way.
