Random Reddit Post Chrome Extension

This Chrome extension is designed to enhance your browsing experience by displaying a random top post from a preset list of subreddits every time you open a new tab. It's perfect for those moments when you're looking for a quick distraction, a laugh, or an interesting fact.

Features

  • Random Post on New Tab: Each time you open a new tab, the extension fetches a random top post from a selected list of subreddits and displays it.
  • Customizable Subreddit List: Through the options page, you can customize which subreddits you want to include in the random selection.
  • Easy to Use: Simply install the extension, and it's ready to go. No additional setup required.

Installation

  1. Download the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Click "Add to Chrome" to install.
  3. Once installed, open a new tab to see a random Reddit post displayed.

How It Works

The extension uses the Reddit API to fetch top posts from a list of subreddits. When you open a new tab, the extension selects a random subreddit from your list, fetches the top posts, and then randomly selects one to display.

Customizing Subreddits

To customize the list of subreddits:

  1. Go to the extension options page by right-clicking the extension icon and selecting "Options."
  2. Add or remove subreddits from the list provided.
  3. Save your changes.

Permissions

The extension requires the following permissions:

  • Storage: To save your custom list of subreddits.
  • ActiveTab: To display the post content on your new tab page.

Privacy

This extension does not collect or store any personal information. It only fetches public posts from Reddit.

Support

If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvements, please feel free to contact the developer.

Enjoy your random Reddit posts!
