- Fixed other reported issues
(If you encounter any bugs, specific GIFs not switching to HD, etc, please open an issue on the Support tab. Also might need to tweak some values based on user feedback.)

1.2.3:

Fixed switching to HD on RedGIFs new design.

Laurence Gough (ID: 0000009cbea8e4f1) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/11/2022 Great idea but sadly it seems to make playback a bit buggy and recently if you switch tabs after pausing the video it always keeps resuming which is really annoying. Uninstalled for now. Thanks though.

Tom Fridman (ID: 000000efd73ec347) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/09/2022 Automatically turns on audio for ALL gifs so expect to be blasted with audio if you use this. it worked before but now it's not.

Ace Strife (ID: 000000c22e849749) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/08/2020 Why this extension even needs to be a thing is just baffling. But I guess that's what happens when your platform isn't making money and you decide to charge people for automatically setting gifs to "HD".. when "HD" should be the default in this day and age. Just sad, really.

Nikolay Pavlov (ID: 0000008ff9b8d3c4) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/14/2020 as developer stated there a problem with embedded gifs: "two issues. 1. If you scroll a through a subreddit with the new design, only the first few posts get set to HD, newly loaded GIFs will remain SD. 2. In the old design, if you click the embed button next to the thumbnail in a subreddit overview, it also only loads in SD" but im sure he'll resolve it!
