Reddit Faster Extension
Reddit Faster lets you open a subreddit just by typing its name. To use, type 'rdd' in the address bar to activate Reddit Faster. Then, simply type the subreddit's name and press enter. That's all!
Main features:
- One-step navigation to any subreddit or multireddit
- Search all of Reddit straight from your address bar

Searching Reddit is easy: you simply type 'search', followed by the words you want to search for, and press enter.
Do you want to search for a subreddit? Type 'search subreddits', followed by your search words.
You can even search within a specific subreddit by typing the name of the subreddit, followed by 'search', followed by the words you want to search for.
(In previous versions this functionality was handled using short prefixes. These will continue to work. For a list of prefixes see the full Readme at https://github.com/dimaba/redditfaster)
Sorting posts in a subreddit
Posts in a subreddit can be sorted by any of Reddit's available sorting methods ('top', 'new', 'hot', 'rising' & 'controversial'). All you have to do is type the subreddit's name, followed by the name of the sorting method.
Wikis and Imgur albums
Many subreddits provide a wiki which compiles a lot of useful and interesting information on the subreddit's topic. These wikis can be accessed by typing the subreddit's name, followed by 'wiki'.
Similarly, any subreddit which accepts picture submissions will have an associated Imgur album. These albums can be accessed by typing the subreddit's name, followed by 'img'.
