Version 0.7 Fixes a bug which broke all links starting with the letter g (https://gyfcat.com/... for example). Version 0.6 Support for RES night mode. Version 0.5 Fixes a silly mistake made in 0.4. Version 0.4 Fixes issues related to changes in the Reddit page structure and https forcing. Version 0.3 Fixes RES never-ending scroll and significantly improved performance.

  • (2019-05-14) Paul B.: Update: Doesn't work on new reddit, 2019. I hope this can be updated. Was working great. Very nice. Working with RES night mode here. It would be nice if the delay were a little longer. I'm getting a lot of unwanted popups as I move the mouse around. Thanks again.
