About

An add-on for browsers to redirect r/… from the URL bar or search engines to the respective subreddit.

  • Override searches for r/… in popular search engines to redirect immediately to the respective subreddit.
  • Registers a search keyword, so that when you type r/ , you search with the r/Redirect add-on which takes you to the respective subreddit.

LibRedirect

This add-on pairs well with LibRedirect. If you install LibRedirect and enable Reddit redirection, you'll be redirected to your preferred privacy-friendly Reddit frontend like Libreddit.

Alternatives

You can instead use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine. DuckDuckGo features Bangs which can achieve a similar result, no add-on required.

  1. Set DuckDuckGo as your default search engine.
  2. In the URL bar or DuckDuckGo search page, use the sr bang, short for subreddit. Searches like !sr … will perform the same behavior as this extension.
