reddit inline

This is a greasemonkey script to open reddit articles any link inline rather than in new windows or tabs. In the first version, you simply hovered over reddit articles (hence the name), but now you have to hold down the v key and you can hover over any link. The name stays (this is the old page).

In its current form you need to be running greasemonkey on firefox. If you know how to install these, here is the script.

   reddit.user.js

Usage

Once installed, here's how you use this thing.

  1. Whenever you you hold down the v key and hover over a link, that link will open inline as an iframe. Here's an example of before and after.

    Before
    ss1

    After
    ss2

  2. To remove the window simply click on the [close] link that appear above the window.

Installation

To use you must be running greasemonkey on firefox. So, I'll mention both.

  1. Install firefox.
  2. Install greasemonkey.
  3. Go to the link reddit.user.js a click the Install button in the upper right. If you don't see this button you haven't installed greasemonkey correctly -- in which case return to step #2.
