Quick Subreddit Extension

This is a simple extension created so that any user can simply type \"r/\" followed by the subreddit name into their browser address bar, to navigate to that subreddit.

Just in case:
1) Type \"r/\" without the quotes.
2) Press space.
3) Type subreddit of choice.
4) Press enter.

I got tired of typing in Reddit (which would autocomplete as reddit.com/r/games), delete the autocompleted subreddit, and then finally type in the subreddit I wanted to go to.

This way, I can go to any subreddit with minimal effort.

Hope someone else finds this useful.
