View/scroll reddit without killing your browser.
I only used to use Reddit Enhancement Suite to infinitely scroll reddit, resize images, and view inline gifs/videos/imgur albums, etc.
RES used to be great. Now, I find that I have problems with Reddit Enhancement Suite using a high amount of CPU/memory, and craps out after about 3 pages of loaded content. So I made RELite. Think of it as an alternative to Reddit Enhancement Suite (though in no way affiliated with it) that uses a hell of a lot less CPU/memory.
From benchmarking with 1000 items loaded, RELite used 43.6% less memory, and 34.1% less CPU than RES.
This extension does the following:
View images in-line
View gifs in-line
View YouTube videos in-line
View Imgur albums in-line
View reddit static/reddit images/reddit hosted images in-line (at the time of writing not supported by RES)
Use far less memory/CPU than Reddit Enhancement Suite
Resize all images/videos/gifs
Preload all the things!
Doesn't track you. Seriously, screw Reddit outbound link tracking.
Less permissions required (why do *some* apps require access to my full browsing history? This just accesses *.reddit.com, *.imgur.com, and *.gifycat.com)
Any feature requests/bugs please send an email to [email protected]. Nb. disable RES to work properly. It is still being worked on, so any constructive criticism is seriously welcome. Thanks!

- (2017-09-20) It's pretty cool and light. Just wish it had infinity scroll and dark mode.
- (2017-07-25) Jacob Noori: A bit disappointed there's no infinite scroll when you get to the bottom of the page but otherwise it's great and seems light.

Latest issues
- (2017-08-28, v:1.11) Carson Trinh: Auto expansion and no way to minimize
I think it's a bug that all of the media/image previews auto expand. Furthermore, clicking on what normally expands/minimizes simply changes the size of the image - (2017-07-13, v:1.11) Evono (Evono): any way for settings ?
I would like to have the auto play stuff bigger... - (2017-03-03, v:1.11) Taylor Etcheson: Keep aspect ratio of images shown in preview
I would like to suggest that images shown in image previews would keep their aspect ratio when resized. - (2017-01-18, v:1.11) Christopher Burnor: Disable auto-expansion of previews
Love RELite and the concept, but it seems to always want to auto-expand the previews which I hate. Would love an option to change that. Realize that you want to keep it from becoming RES again, but should at least be options to control behavior that *is* in the extnesion
