William Bokunic (ID: 00000041a26d15cd) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/04/2015 Looks wonderful, however there are times at which you cannot use a comment box and you have to disable the extension to do so (such as when trying to reply to mail).

Carlos Irizarry (ID: 000000fb159ca083) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/28/2015 Makes Reddit look good, but doesn't work on the HTTPS version of the site.

Alexander Moerman (ID: 00000059bff384ce) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/09/2015 Great look & feel. Much easier to read, it starts to feel like "default" Reddit very quickly. I had forgotten that I installed this app months ago, and switching it off almost hurt. Beautiful work.
