Description from store
4chan X is a script that adds various features to anonymous imageboards. It was originally developed for 4chan but has no affiliation with it.
For other browsers or for the userscript version (works better than the Chrome extension unless you need syncing between devices), see:
https://www.4chan-x.net/
Please note:
Uninstalling: 4chan X disables the native extension, so if you uninstall 4chan X, you'll need to re-enable it. To do this, click the [Settings] link in the top right corner, uncheck "Disable the native extension" in the panel that appears, and click the "Save Settings" button. If you don't see a "Save Settings" button, it may be being hidden by your ad blocker.
Incognito mode: By default, 4chan X remembers your last read post in a thread and which posts were made by you, even if you are in incognito mode. If you want to turn this off, uncheck the "Remember Last Read Post" and "Remember Your Posts" options in the settings panel. You can clear all 4chan browsing history saved by 4chan X by resetting your settings.
Use of the "Link Title" feature to fetch titles of Youtube links is subject to Youtube's Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) and Privacy Policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy). For more details on what information is sent to Youtube and other sites, and how to turn it off if you don't want the feature, see https://github.com/ccd0/4chan-x/wiki/Privacy.

- (2023-08-21) Zach Fett: Excellent extension, I can't imagine using 4chan without it, but over the last few months I've noticed that image-heavy threads become a total lag-fest when trying to scroll down while having this extension enabled. I've tried resetting settings, disabling various ones that I thought might be affecting it, but nothing seems to help.
- (2023-08-16) First Last: One of the best extensions, but recently it's been breaking my 4chan page across all browsers/different computers: When the extension is enabled, it often makes 4chan come up with the error: "Your browser is out of date! Update your browser to view this website correctly. More Information." Only gets fixed when disabling this extension, I hope a fix comes soon.
- (2023-07-30) angel flash: Didn't like it, removed it from Chrome, and now the site is broken. I can't reply to any posts or see how many replies a post has.
- (2023-06-02) P99Chan: Can we get support for 8chan.moe?
- (2022-12-19) Rylee Nerifemmetrixa: Personally I love this app, its made my lurking experience 100x better... which isnt a lot because 4chan is still dumb lmfao but still thanks <3
- (2022-03-21) Ж-12 J-12: Broke 4chan after de-installation. Also broke captcha when I installed it.
- (2021-10-20) D Dawg: very good, need image dump update, cant stack captchas anymore
- (2021-09-16) Phil Hamil: Nice, but please add the ability to hide meme flags on /pol/.
- (2021-07-11) Yakushishi Mephiti: I really like 4chanX but with the new CAPTCHA system they introduced the fast captchas aren't working anymore and the new ones with a slider are a chore to do so. I really hope they will be skippable in the future
- (2021-07-09) Beach Wind: This extension does not work with the new update, it states that there is no valid CAPTCHA despite it being completed.
- (2021-07-07) y b: Great extension. I was able to write a filter that filtered out all posts on 4chan (using the regex ".*"), thereby drastically increasing the quality of the website 5/5
- (2021-07-06) Ashley Blackwater: Makes the site so much easier to use without adding complexity. if you want to go all out with custom settings you can, but really the default options modernize the site, and I swear even makes it faster/more optimized. I find the dump list feature the most useful. Being able to just drag an entire folders worth of files in instead of searching for the files one by one saves so much time. Getting reply notifications is also really useful. Updates are quick. When the site makes a weird change that breaks it (like changing the captcha), its updated and fixed extremely quickly.

- (2021-06-27) Michael Maus: UPDATE: I cannot post anymore and I keep getting "connection error" even after trying all the troubleshooting suggestions. It was working fine yesterday, but today not so much. Works when it wants to but I've experienced many instances where I would reply to a thread and my comment wouldn't post or try to make a thread and it redirects me to another thread.
- (2021-05-12) Tyrone Marchant: I've been using this for awhile and for the most part it's great! However since I've decided to browse /wsg/ it doesn't play sound on the webms. I can't see in the settings how to fix this too.
- (2021-04-15) Kieran Hooper: It'd be nice if filtered threads highlighted the element/phrase that got them filtered. It's hard to figure out what went wrong/filtered a thread I wanted to see, since I have so many filters in place.
- (2021-03-11) Brannon Richmond: This extension is amazing and has made browsing content heavy threads SO much easier. 5 star work for sure.
- (2020-12-27) mer meh: I have been using this for over a week now and it improved 4chan a lot. However, I noticed whenever a 4chan thread has a new reply while I brose the catalog, it has a minor bug of minimizing the thread I'm previewing (a feature 4chanx created). Other than that, I would highly recommend it since the captcha setting ensures I can reply without clicking the dumb fading cars 20 times. It bypasses captcha nearly entirely.
- (2020-12-09) Kamran Lotfian: Update button stopped working plus I can't can't click on the person I replied to. It just shows a small dot every time I click it.
- (2020-10-26) King Bardylis: Works pretty good
- (2020-10-20) Paolo Badajos: easy to use
- (2020-08-28) Solid Snake: cool and good
- (2020-08-25) C: Doesn't work on blue boards, im getting (170 errors occurred. [report] [hide] Parsing of Thread No.304680878 failed. Thread will be skipped. TypeError: Cannot read property 'no' of undefined (4chan X ccd0 v1.14.20.0 crx on blink at 12095,12409,12394,5287))
- (2020-08-02) TheWalkingAmongTheDead: Works fine for me.
- (2020-07-19) Ayman Ibrahim: Fantastic extension. I love the new hierarchical format for showing post replies .
- (2019-10-29) darksicus: Good extension. Is it possible to download all image in a thread? or how to do it?
- (2019-08-15) Cursed Sky: Makes browsing a lot easier and has a lot of helpful features.
- (2019-06-28) monsieur cacator: Nice it's finally updated I can now talk with my fav redditors and filter thoses ugly 4channers
- (2019-05-18) Atif Baig: yeet
- (2019-04-04) Nokia n900: broken after april fools 2019. :(
- (2019-03-28) Adam Salter: Usually pretty good and up-to-date, but this chrome store version is now outdated, which is affecting lurking ability. Once it gets updated, I'll edit this review, since this extension is normally fantastic, but not right at the moment.
- (2019-03-23) Ez: Broken as of now. Get the following message:"Error loading https://a.4cdn.org/boards.json; try going to chrome://flags/#network-service and disabling the network service flag."
- (2019-02-16) Nick S.: How about you don't request to receive all of my visiting history data?
- (2018-12-21) Stefan: No updates for v1.14.5.0 and up.
- (2018-12-05) David B.: 4channel X when?
- (2018-12-03) Reid BH: please let this work on the new domain I rarely visit red boards so this is extension is pretty pointless for me at the moment
- (2018-11-24) ELP random: When's 4channel X
- (2018-11-04) Moin Morgen: Fixed my problem with the broken Captcha, and has some nice features
- (2018-09-20) exceedingly curious: Works great just have to remember to disable add blockers because they sometimes interfere with it
- (2018-09-18) Mico: keeps breaking every few weeks, updates take days in a row. When it breaks, 4chan becomes unusable.
- (2018-09-17) Road Dogg: Not working
- (2018-09-17) I got a problem today, whenever i click a board it doesnt load and says : Failed to load board configuration. Connection Error Error fetching archive data from https://mayhemydg.github.io/archives.json/archives.json Connection Error
- (2018-08-28) Lemony Fresh: It is brilliant and makes the site not feel like you are using a 15 year old website. Until the recent changes where WEBMs with sound have no sound, and you have to turn the extension off. EDIT: (going back to 5 stars) chrome://flags/#enable-modern-media-controls (Then click disable)
- (2018-07-28) Erik de Paulsen: perma-mutes audio in webms. Only way to get it to play sound is to disable the extension.
- (2018-07-03) Huntaren: Used to be an amazing extension for browsing 4chan. But as of late it mutes all audio and dose not allow you to toggle audio on or off on any clip.
- (2018-05-14) op give sauce: This is actually the best extension of the 4chan out here. And 100% recommended to every anon out there.
- (2018-04-22) Samuel Huang: thank you anon :)
- (2018-04-17) Carl Walker: No problem at all.
- (2018-01-12) m p: Works well and looks nice

Webms no longer have sound. The mute button on all files is showing that they are muted, and is grayed out and no longer selectable making it impossible to unmute them. I'm in chrome version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit) Issue began occuring approximately a week ago, after Chrome updated its look.
