Bayazid Bustami Halim (ID: 0000000ce90b080b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/09/2022 Very great, gives a very clean experience to see a bunch of subreddit in a TweetDeck-like experience in the new tab. Very simple to use and to the point. I would love for it to have a toggle for blurring or hiding just NSFW images, though. Having to hide all images is fine, but not ideal. Also, if it at all possible, perhaps a way to redirect links to Teddit or Libreddit front-end, but I do have Libredirect for that -- it's just a nice-to-have thing really.
