Latest reviews
- (2024-01-07) Jagvinder Sian: On Brave, I have to turn off and then re-turn on the extension to get it to work.
- (2024-01-02) Markus Krainz: Thanks for making Reddit less cancerous.
- (2023-12-31) Max Amps: Good. I hate redditard
- (2023-12-18) 6 6 (6): reddit is cancer thanks for the extension
- (2023-12-05) Elliott Hansen: It works, but I'm not a fan of it changing the default image to webp instead of what the image originally was. Please give us an option to keep the original file type.
- (2023-11-22) Michael: Does what it says it does. Love it.
- (2023-11-07) Wallace: Ty for this very much needed extension! But sadly it stops working after I close the browser, and I have to disable and enable it every time to work again.
- (2023-11-04) trunestor: works as intended
- (2023-11-01) Cassidy: It's a beautiful thing
- (2023-10-21) Ronald Lang Jr.: Makes reddit images work like they're supposed to. The fact that Chrome lets reddit hijack the "open image in a new tab" feature is itself broken.
- (2023-10-19) Chathindu Bandara: It works
- (2023-10-16) Gabriel Oliveira: Thank you for this.
- (2023-10-13) Masked Guy: Works as advertised.
- (2023-10-10) Travis Turner: Isn't working completely for me; at best it was just removing the visuals of the reddit image page, but functionally it had all the same downsides still. This did however clean the url enough that a simple tampermonkey script got me the rest of the way.
- (2023-10-07) Andrea: Thank you so much! ♥
- (2023-10-06) Tiago: a fix that shoudnt be needed in the first place, but this works yeah
- (2023-10-05) Ubay Abdelgadir: Thanks dude for this extension
- (2023-09-27) Alex: works great when it works, thank you! similar issue was mentioned below, I'm also having the same issue. Using Brave browser so maybe that's why " Zach RAug 17, 2023 It works when I initially load it, but when I go to reddit later in the day the extension doesn't work, the images still load in reddit's viewer "
- (2023-09-24) Timeless: Works perfectly, thank goodness!
- (2023-09-24) Adrian K: Works as intended. 5 stars
- (2023-09-18) Berdar Yarkın Yücesoy: Still works!
- (2023-09-17) Cena Bale: Thank you
- (2023-09-13) marty: Thank you
- (2023-09-07) Mark Reaves: Works and does what it says, but breaks on browser restart (Brave). Opening extensions page, disabling and re-enabling fixes it when this happens. Reload the Reddit page after such.
- (2023-09-06) Anonymous A.: Thank you for correctly solving a pointless problem that the corrupt, immoral, unethical, censorship-promoting staff of Reddit (Steve Huffman, Jen Wong, Drew Vollero, and Christopher Slowe) caused.
- (2023-09-03) Kyle Weng: reddit's frame is so unnecessary
- (2023-08-30) Christian Milling: Works great
- (2023-08-28) Rohypnol Wilkins: necessary extension in 2023. smh
- (2023-08-28) Mike Butt: Ridiculous that this is necessary.
- (2023-08-26) Tom Perry: FINALLY a solution to Reddit's annoying image host that wraps an annoying frame around all hosted images, even when you try to view only the image. This is now a must-have for desktop browsing, and it works perfectly in Edge too. Reddit made things worse with their useless dumb idea and this sets the universe right again.
- (2023-08-19) B M: Worked briefly, but now says "no access needed" when on the appropriate webpages for reddit. My browser just updated today too, not sure which broke it. Update: Reinstalling the extension got it working again. Thanks for making this extension, hopefully it will stay functional for everyone.
- (2023-08-18) Ezorde: Works as intended
- (2023-08-18) Dung hun111: It works TYSM <3
- (2023-08-18) The Blinding Flashbang: Thank you
- (2023-08-17) Borislaw: It works
- (2023-08-17) Zach R: It works when I initially load it, but when I go to reddit later in the day the extension doesn't work, the images still load in reddit's viewer
- (2023-08-17) Lachlan Williams: This is awesome! The new view media page Reddit added was driving me batty! Thank you!
- (2023-08-17) Michał Tenerowicz: Simply works
- (2023-08-16) Sparkou Blaou: Great job
- (2023-08-16) Spiderking Demon: Leave it to the brainiacs in the Reddit UI department to make this extension necessary. They're dangerously close to screwing up a great thing with each and every decision they make. Good job u/spez!
- (2023-08-16) Ariff Riley: A solution to an unnecessary problem caused by reddit in the first place
- (2023-08-16) Анастасия Сушкова: This made my Reddit experience so much better because I'm used to downloading images from there. This extension is a blessing!
- (2023-08-16) borosbattalion23: Bless you
- (2023-08-15) RR: L'estensione risolve ottimamente l'ennesima delirante decisione di Reddit di non permettere di poter salvare le immagini.
- (2023-08-14) Chris C.: Does exactly what it says it does and fixed yet another problem Reddit created itself.
- (2023-08-14) Kevin L: Does what it says on the tin!
- (2023-08-12) tpodole: Reddit is making changes nobody asked for. This extension not only "fixes" the container page by removing it, but also fixes the new https://www.reddit.com/media?url=<encoded i.redd.it link> heading
- (2023-08-11) William Thomas: Oh THANK YOU! This has been driving me crazy.
- (2023-08-11) Albert Wen: It works, what else is there to say?
- (2023-08-11) Bart: Really happy to see this. Was trying to look at a cartoon someone posted, and with the annoying Reddit frame around it I could only view it as a tiny, unreadable cartoon, or else a gigantic one that overflowed the page by a huge margin, and nothing in between. Only downside I see with this addon is I get a blinding white background behind the image that overwrites the one that Dark Reader puts up.
Latest issues
- (2024-01-05, v:1.2.1) Jagvinder Sian: Brave problem
On Brave, I have to turn off and then re-turn on the extension to get it to work. - (2023-10-21, v:1.2.1) Tomás C.: Shorter links and nicer image resizing
This could be useful for anyone interested in this extension: The image links with this extention look like this: https://preview.redd.it/[someletters].png?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=885e5b54ccc70a1cf43d7a7f1829d002694ceb33 Which contains unnecessary info and resizes the image in an inconvenient way. But it could look like this: https://i.redd.it/[someletters].png. And it works as expected, with nice short links! - (2023-09-07, v:1.2.1) Mark Reaves: Can confirm, breaks on browser restart of Brave browser
Can confirm, breaks on browser restart of Brave browser. Disabling and re-enabling the extension fixes it until browser restart. - (2023-09-03, v:1.2.1) James R: Breaking regularly
The extension stops working after the browser is closed and reopened. The only way to fix it is by manually disabling and enabling it in extension management.
