About Reddit Subdomain Redirector

For users who miss the old internet behavior where you could type a subdomain to navigate directly to a specific community, Reddit Subdomain Redirector brings back that convenience. This lightweight and efficient extension automatically redirects any Reddit subdomain to its proper subreddit URL. For example, if you type nintendo.reddit.com into your address bar, you will be instantly taken to https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/. The extension is built with privacy and performance in mind, using Chrome's modern declarativeNetRequest API to perform the redirect without ever reading your browsing activity or data. It has a single, focused purpose and runs with minimal system resources.
