Subreddit Blocker Extension

This extension block subreddits from feeds such as /r/all and /r/popular.

On reddit.com/r/all and reddit.com/r/popular you see a variety of \"cards\" on these sites and these cards come from a variety of different \"subreddits\". On the website there is currently no way to alter which cards you see on this site, it's determined by reddit itself.

Using this extension you can add \"subreddits\" which will then be blocked from the website and so when you go to reddit.com/r/all and reddit.com/r/popular you will no longer see the \"cards\" of these blocked \"subreddits\".
