Clean up visual clutter
Protego lets you hide post thumbnails, avatars, banners, and flair from Reddit’s feeds and threads.
Reddit surrounds every post with small things to look at, and most of them have nothing to do with what anyone wrote. Hide them and the page is calm, a long feed is quick to skim, and what you stop on is something you picked. The posts stay the same, in the same order, with less around them.
Skim feeds without post thumbnails
Turn on Post thumbnails to hide the preview image on posts in your feeds. The post you open still shows its image. It works on old Reddit too.
