What is Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES)?
Reddit Enhancement Suite is the classic browser extension for Reddit power users, packed with hundreds of features that transform the desktop experience. From night mode and user tagging to infinite scroll and advanced content filtering, RES gives you granular control over how you browse Reddit, and it is free and open source.
Key Features
- Night mode: An easy-on-the-eyes dark theme with multiple color options.
- User tagging: Tag and color-code users so you recognize them across threads.
- Infinite scroll: Load new content automatically as you scroll, with no pagination.
- Content filters: Hide posts by subreddit, user, or keyword with powerful rules.
- Keyboard navigation: Full keyboard shortcuts for browsing without the mouse.
Is RES Worth It?
For desktop power users on old Reddit, RES is essential and free: night mode, user tagging, infinite scroll, filtering, and keyboard navigation in one extension. The one real catch is that it is built for old.reddit.com and only partly works on the redesigned Reddit, so if you browse new Reddit it will not do much for you. If you live on old Reddit, install it without a second thought.
