Reddit is a victim of its own success, with the site and its many “subreddits” quickly becoming unwieldy for browsing. But you’re no victim. You can cut through the clutter with third-party Reddit tools.

The five favorites below are all free, and all of them have such obviously useful features for organizing and navigating the site, it’s surprising that Reddit hasn’t incorporated competitive features (or bought out these tools). Whether Reddit will ever get its act together, however, doesn’t matter—you can do it yourself now.

Reddit Enhancement Suite adds browsing features

Reddit may be the site of the moment, but its design looks like something from the 1990s. Reddit Enhancement Suite drags Reddit’s look into the current century, and brings some useful features along for the ride. This browser plug-in is available for Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari.

Highlights include a “never-ending” Reddit page layout, in which the next page automatically loads as you reach the end of the current page. You can also subscribe to discussions, an indispensable feature if you make a lot of comments and want to be notified when people reply to them.
