The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Default Sort for Reddit
Default Sort for Reddit is a small Chrome extension for keeping Reddit community and profile pages on the sort and feed view you actually use.
It applies defaults only when a plain Reddit community or profile URL opens. If you change sorting inside Reddit with the site UI, the extension leaves that manual choice alone.
Features:
- Default community sort: Top, New, Hot, Best, or Rising
- Default user profile sort: Top, New, or Hot
- Top range selector: Hour, Day, Week, Month, Year, or All
- Feed view selector: Card or Compact
- Chrome side panel settings UI
- Enable/disable from the extension icon context menu
- Local-only settings, no tracking, no remote servers
How It Works
The extension uses Manifest V3 `declarativeNetRequest` dynamic rules. Those rules redirect only matching Reddit URLs like:
https://www.reddit.com/r/example/
https://www.reddit.com/user/example/
The rules do not match already sorted URLs, so Reddit interface clicks such as `Hot`, `New`, `Top`, or `Rising` are not forced back to the extension setting.
