Simplify the new Reddit layout.
Simple Reddit Extension
Cleans up the new reddit layout, makes it more compact - and closer to how the old reddit layout looked - but while keeping the new reddit features. That's all.
It's a little bit like the Reddit Enhancement Suite, just for the new design. And simpler.
Note : Simple Reddit is not officially affiliated with Reddit.
