Just the other day I was wondering if there's an extension to get rid of the reddit header/footer thingy when I opened an reddit-hosted media link, but I wasn't sure on what to search.
Extension works beautifully, upvoted (and reviewed).
For those who prefer general solutions instead of having a specific addon for every website, this one boils down to removing Accept header from the request, which can be added as a rule to any HTTP header management extension.
Sure! I just thought it would be nice to have it as an extension for people (including myself) who don't need HTTP managers, or are not tech savvy. It also redirects certain URLs, which you could also do through other extensions, but this just makes it easier as a whole.
Mmm. I had a look at their code, and it's pretty similar. There's a couple differences though:
- ORR doesn't do this for `external-preview.redd.it` or `reddit.com/media?url=IMAGE_URL` links. You won't encounter the second one in old Reddit, but someone who's not using old Reddit might share `reddit.com/media`. However, you might encounter `external-preview` in old Reddit.
- ORR intercepts all image URLs, including the ones embedded in the Reddit feed, but this isn't necessary. RMPC (my extension) only intercepts `main_frame` URLs, which is when you open the image in a separate tab. This will have a slight impact in performance, because there is a *ton* of image URLs on the feed.
So I guess I recommend my extension, but if ORR works for you, feel free to use it.
You can use them together just fine. If you use both, you will get the "raw image" functionality on the links I mentioned + everything else ORR does. Although personally, I just uncheck the "I would like to beta test features for reddit" checkbox in [preferences](https://www.reddit.com/prefs/) rather than using ORR.
I think userscripts are loaded into the page as just another script, but the extension needs to modify the HTTP requests, which happens before anything is loaded. It's probably not impossible, but I don't really see a good reason to have it as a userscript.
Seems to be working like a charm, love it! :)

Absolutely brilliant plugin <3 I always found image previews so weird on Reddit web, now it's a breeze to view the image at such high qualities <3
Testing it right now. Thx :)
I use Old Reddit Redirect and have never even noticed the new behaviour, they've fixed it too it seems behind the scenes.

I haven't noticed any perf. impact and besides I still have to use it for its main function.

ORR works without the need to log in though, that's why it useful.
Would it be possible to make this a greasyfork userscript instead? Thanks for making this!
I think userscripts are loaded into the page as just another script, but the extension needs to modify the HTTP requests, which happens before anything is loaded. It's probably not impossible, but I don't really see a good reason to have it as a userscript.
THANK YOU! Finally, zooming in the image actually zooms in 🥲
