Sheddit

Renders modern Reddit in the classic old.reddit.com layout, locally in your browser. No API, no login, no tracking.

0.36.0 headline fixes: Fixed loading wrong content after backing up Misc logged-in fixes The modern Reddit feed is a slot machine's psychology applied to a link aggregator with a data harvesting mechanism built on top. Yuck. And now they are randomly blocking old.reddit.com and gating it with account requirements. Double yuck. Sheddit gets rid of all of that. What's left is a list of links, ranked, with the scores and the comment counts and nothing whatsoever trying to extend the session. It re-renders modern Reddit into the efficient and readable old.reddit.com layout -- on the fly, in real time -- as you browse. It works on the page you already loaded. There are no API calls, no login, no account, and no server in the middle — the extension reads the post and comment data modern Reddit has already put in the page and draws the old layout from it. If Sheddit cannot render a page, it gets out of the way and leaves Reddit exactly as it was. THIS PLUGIN IS IN BETA -- PLEASE SUBMIT BUG REPORTS AS YOU FIND THEM PRIVACY Sheddit collects nothing and transmits nothing. It makes no network requests of its own, has no analytics, and stores exactly one thing: your display preferences, in Chrome's own settings storage. It never sees your Reddit login or session. The full policy is at https://github.com/kookaburrabarrel/sheddit/blob/main/PRIVACY.md OPEN SOURCE GPL-3.0-or-later. The entire source, including the test suite the layout is checked against, is at https://github.com/kookaburrabarrel/sheddit — so every claim above is something you can verify rather than something you have to take on trust.
