- Ok, but only annoyance is, animated gifs are often static and require going into reddit and clicking a link, (2 clicks total) which mostly defeats the purpose.

- This makes my day, every day.

- Jack Spence
- I use this at work - it keeps me entertained especially when I'm not expecting anything above average (from the extension) and am frustrated with work so I get pleasantly surprised
- Jan-Felix Desroches
- Makes me smile almost every day!
- T Moore
- A fun little add on. It can be super distracting at times because I keep hitting refresh, but it adds some laughter to my work day so I appreciate. My only complaint is that the gifs don't always load. Also, I recommend a background change. Not feeling the pink/yellow gradient.

- James Thomas
- Nice variety.
- Jason Meister
- Loved it till the last update. Can't scroll when gifs are big, ugly pink background color, some gifs are at an angle for no reason. Give me the option to go back to the original design please. I use this at work but will have to uninstall if the background color isn't changed back to white. Updated 12/18/17: And now it's completely broken and doesn't load anything. Extension Disabled. Updated 3/1/18: Now it crushes my CPU anytime it's launched and is completely unusable. Its like they are doing everything they can to ruin this extension.
