Helpful extensions for moderators

(Also called add-ons)

“A browser extension is a small software module for customizing a web browser. Browsers typically allow a variety of extensions, including user interface modifications, ad blocking, and cookie management.” -Wikipedia

Extensions in this case can be added to your browser to increase functionality, or improve your experience on reddit.

Extension availability may vary between browsers.
