Very nice. Working on old.reddit with RES night mode here. It would be nice if the delay and the location offset were configurable. I'm getting a lot of unwanted popups and marked reads as I move the mouse around. Thanks again.

Why does it need "read and change your browsing history' permission? Are you selling data?

Hover Zoom+ and this one hover text and RES are the absolute necessities to have the best experience browsing Reddit. Love it. Only wish that there be an add-on for Firefox too.

Now that reddit has created old.reddit.com domain for their old page layout, this Extension needs to be updated to work on both www.reddit.com and this new "old" domain. Thanks!

It was very convenient to use and worked great. However, it stopped working a couple days ago...hopefully it gets fixed.

It was great when it worked. Last updated a year ago; safe to say the dev has abandoned it. Wish I could find an alternative :(
