## Description

Tired of clutter? Need to focus? Reddit Simplify makes your Reddit experience calmer, cleaner, and easier to read. It removes visual clutter and busy UI so you can focus on posts, comments, and communities.

<strong>What it does</strong>
-Declutters the feed &amp; search results: Hide Trending topics, right-rail promos, app nags, “Happening now,” community spotlights, geolocation rows, and the “Create post” box when you just want to browse.
-Tames post cards: Hide promoted posts, extra share buttons, and author avatars if you prefer a simpler list.
-Cleans up comment threads: Hide comment avatars, reaction bars, timestamps, the sort/search bar, and awards (while keeping the actual comment text).
-Fixes auto-search links: Strips Reddit’s auto-inserted search links from post text and comments, keeping the words but removing the link.

<strong>You stay in control:</strong>
-One-click ON/OFF toggle.
-Per-section controls: Separate groups for Home/Search pages and for Thread/Comments pages.
-Toggle All for quick setup, plus fine-grained switches for each element.
-Settings apply instantly. No refresh needed!
