What's even the point if it only works with the old reddit? So now you either have to manually change the URL every time you end up on reddit, or you need to implement some other workaround like another extension to automatically forward you to old reddit every time.

how to change the post's upvotes color? i can't find it, the default color is horrible, it is grey-white while the background is white, change to night mode make it a bit better but still bad how to make the posts more center-aligned instead of the default left-aligned

For people considering this extension, note that it only works with OLD reddit. It says so in the extension's description. I recommend using the "reddit redirect" extension in conjunction with this one. Even though you can disable new reddit in your profile settings, the redirect extension makes it so that even if you click a new reddit link, or a /r/.... styled link, you'll get the old reddit layout. Why old reddit? One of many reasons: just try loading 20+ old vs new reddit pages on a less performant machine. You're bogging your computer down or depleting your laptop battery without even knowing it.

FALSE ALARM. Back to 5 star.

Stopped working. Used to work great but it just straight up doesn't function properly anymore.

I was hoping to use it to filter out annoying posts just to find out they only work with the old layout, and the plugin is essentially abandonware. ""Support for "new" reddit has not gained much traction/interest from developers, so without additional contributions, RES development will be mostly infrequent / in life support mode."

Amazing. Automatic day/night mode based on geolocation for old Reddit.

The functionality is nice, but it feels so dated. I use New Tab for Reddit (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-for-reddit/mkdfgkdkelchdejnijjoamieonffdpmb) which suits me better

It works excellent! But I didn't find posts and comments batch removing feature like Nuke Reddit.

New reddit, AKA IPO reddit is gross and broken. Can always count on RES to save the day.

I found this extension several years ago when looking for a way to do simple regular expression searches. It did everything I wanted and more (the filters are my fav feature). I still haven't gotten around to investigating ALL of the options and capabilities in this extension. Is there something like this for Android?

Tried to use to filter posts from spam subreddits, but the filters did nothing and I continued to see garbage spam posts. Useless

Since this morning the Home button disappeared when using RES. I've already checked the settings and it is enabled there. I can revert my rating once this is fixed.

This app unfortuantly does not filter out posts due to the New Redesign and this app has yet to be updated to be compatable with the new redesign. Why haven't you guys updated this app yet? This App is Useless now! Fix this app now!


Shawn “Synik” B. March 13th, 2021

A must have for reddit browsing. I will say that I knocked 2 stars off because of the way it interferes with reddit videos. I constantly have to clear browsing data to get the videos to actually play when I open a post.

It's been great until now, the account switcher doesn't show up most the time and that's the main reason i use it

Multitude of features, navigating it could use some improvement.


Mike T March 5th, 2021

I've been using this since its release, and my opinion of it has not changed much. I use this only for its filtering capabilities. Being able to hide subs, users, comments, post titles, and submissions based on flair, is the ultimate thing that makes that hellscape of a website usable. I do feel RES suffers from feature bloat, and a cumbersome interface. Filtering things isn't as intuitive as you might think. Several useful things that I've seen many users request over the years still only remain accessible via CSS Snippets, like hiding awards or stickied comments.

I love this extension. My primary goal is to focus my time and attention on deep, thoughtful reading experiences, but I still do love exploring meme-world sometimes too. Reddit Enhancement Suite and another extension called Readup have become totally essential to my online experience. I hope the updates keep coming. Long live the internet being fun!


Mauro Tamm January 18th, 2021

It was great, but the only important feature - hiding subreddits is no longer working. Even in r/all everything still shows up.

Dark mode is nice but it slows down other things. All I want is dark mode, can you make a lite version?

It has good features but it's slower than the new design. I might just stick with that


Aayla November 10th, 2020

Really helpful, but are there any plans to make the account switcher functionable with accounts made thru Google accounts directly? Every time I try to use the account switcher to go to that account in particular it always comes back saying it can't sign in after trying to set it up in the account switcher tab.


I K September 23rd, 2020

They've updated it, and now all Google search links go through some proxy called "sr.gdprvalidate.de" seems very very very sketchy Update: Yeah I've seen other posts on reddit with this similar issue, this extension is redirecting Google Search links from places like Best Buy and Asus, redirecting them through some weird link-ad-revenue proxies, then sending you to the site. I've gotten rid of all my extensions and have tested it numerous times and this is definitely the extension that is causing this problem, will be uninstalling and reporting to Google. It's a shame, was a nice minimal Reddit extension which I used for it's dark-mode.


Scroyb September 28th, 2020
Scroyb

Useless turd of an extension. Fails supremely at what I'd imagine most people use it for, blocking obnoxious subreddits on r/all. If it worked, it'd get five stars. Got my hopes up, then brought them down lower than the quality of posts on some quite frankly disgusting subreddits. For shame.

Does not work. Probably a mining extension, as it drain CPU power and do noting else.

So many options! Maybe too many options...still figuring it all out. But I like the level of customizability. Intense.

FOR EVERYONE STRUGGLING TO HAVE IT WORKING OR SAYING IT'S MAKING REDDIT UNUSABLE: I am using the Brave Browser, which is based off of Chrome. I assume it'll be similar for you. (This worked for me) Click on the extension while it's on your bar. (Should give you the drop down of options) Click "Manage extensions" Look through the page until you see: "Site access This extension can read and change your data on sites. You can control which sites the extension can access. Automatically allow access on the following sites" It lists " https://*.reddit.com/* " And maybe a variant of that same URL Just click the toggle for automatically allow access on the following sites. Refresh web pages. Sorry if it doesn't work for you!

RES Breaks Reddit for me currently though this extension has been great over the years. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the new Reddit site design but posts won't load and it can't log me in even though RES shows me as logged in.

You had 1 job, RES Filter out keywords. And you simply don't do it.

I mainly got this ext for its "neverending Reddit" feature, that USED to work. Doesn't work anymore and getting support is frikken impossible.

Not sure what has happened. Chrome version 76 updated. After that, Google Sheets started to behave badly. I did a Power Wash. That fixed the Google Sheets problem, however, Reddit and RES fell apart. This only happens on my Acer Chromebook. My Acer Chromebox is unaffected. When I go to Reddit and click on a comment a new window opens, but the comment text is so small it cannot be read. When I click on Preferences a new window opens but it is completely blank. I have also eliminated all extensions, restarted the computer but that did not cure any of the RES problems. When I click on RES settings, it opens as expected, but when I click on Appearance>Bettereddit>Pin Subreddit Bar only User Bar, Subreddit Bar and User bar, Full Header . Each option selected looks exactly the same. I have been writing with Reddit Support (C6H12O6-Cube (Reddit Support). He feels the problem lies with RES and suggested I ask for help via this interface.

They removed the 'view images' button, so it's pointless now.

Kinda useless, defaults to new reddit format which is garbage. To be honest I don't really understand the point of this plugin.

Works like a dream, as long as you aren't using reddit's new design. I wish people would stop rating 1 star because the reddit redesign broke integration.

I've used for years, but over the past 90 days I've had to frequently remove to make reddit usable. Currently, it only loads the first page and then stops. FIX PLZ.

This used to be amazing, with the reddit redesign it's lost the best function, opening images in the same window and allowing resize. Unless I'm missing something, in which case please let me know, this needs to be fixed ASAP. That feature is the primary reason I was using this plugin.

I honestly do not see any reason why reddit should not simply have all the features this enhancement sweet offers. When I use reddit on a PC that doesn't have the suite, it just feels off and impractical. I've been using this enhancement suite for at least four years and I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to use reddit in the most intuitive way.


Ali Fazel August 16th, 2018
