logo Reddit in Sidebar

⚠️ This project is no longer actively used or maintained. ⚠️

A Firefox WebExtension to display Reddit within the Firefox sidebar. This extension adds a new section to the sidebar which contains the old compact version of Reddit. It also adds a shortcut, and a button toggle within the toolbar.

Why I Use old.reddit.com/.compact

Because after running some tests, it is currently the best Reddit experience within the sidebar.

How to Use

  1. Toggle the sidebar by pressing Alt+Shift+8. This shortcut can be changed by going to Add-ons -> Reddit in Sidebar -> Options.
  2. If you prefer buttons over shortcuts, there is a toolbar button you can press to toggle the sidebar.

How to Unlock Firefox Sidebar Width

The sidebar's width is locked by default in Firefox. Unfortunately, the sidebar is very restrictive and I can only do so much to enhance the functionality of this extension. I put together a step-by-step guide on how to unlock it over at my blog.

Disclaimer

This Add-on is primarily for personal use; a personal project if you will. I'm just trying to use Reddit on the Firefox sidebar. This add-on just launches their webapp in the sidebar. This extension is an independent project, has no relationship, and is not affiliated to Reddit in any way.
