Ry Vengeance (ID: 000000bdf6e20e63) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/11/2015 This extension does what it promises and does it exceptionally well. If you're on the fence between Reddit and Voat this is a comfortable place to sit. Note: The chat is divided by subs of the same name on both sites, and the mods of the subs aren't able to moderate it. That means you can talk about what is going on in the sub without fear of censorship.
