FAQ
Here are a few other questions that other users have asked about the RES add-on.
Does Reddit Enhancement Suite work on mobile?
There isn’t a dedicated app that allows you to use the extension on Android or iOS devices. However, a workaround enables Android users to use the extension. You have to install Opera Mobile Labs on your device. Once installed, you’ll be able to use any Chrome extension on your mobile device, including RES.
How do I get old RES Reddit?
Unfortunately, the RES add-on is available only on the older Reddit version before the redesign. You can set your Reddit to use the old version by default by accessing your Reddit preferences and deselect “Use the redesign as my default experience”. Alternatively, you can use a browser extension to force Reddit to open in the older version.
