70+ ways to browse your way

Dark Mode & 20+ Themes

A polished dark mode plus a full gallery of themes: Dracula, Nord, Catppuccin, Solarized, Tokyo Night, OLED black, and more. Pick the look that suits you.

Ad & Annoyance Blocker

Strip promoted posts, app nags, login walls, chat widgets, NFT and gold promos, cookie banners, and email verification prompts. The page you wanted, nothing else.

Comment Power-Ups

Auto-collapse AutoModerator, mark controversial comments, persistent collapse across visits, color-coded threads, custom depth limits, and jumping between top-level comments.

Keyboard Navigation

Move through posts and comments without touching the mouse. A command palette puts every subreddit, setting, and action one keystroke away.

Saved Content Manager

A unified viewer for bookmarked posts and saved comments with search, tags, and import/export. Your saved items, finally organized.

View Deleted Content

One click reveals removed comments through Reveddit, so a moderated thread no longer leaves you guessing what was said.

Media & Gallery Tools

Browse image galleries with the arrow keys and view media inline. Power through albums without opening every link in a new tab.

Live Threads

New comments appear automatically without reloading the page, so fast-moving threads and live discussions stay fresh while you read.

Inbox Preview

Read messages and replies in a popup without leaving the page. Glance at your inbox and get back to what you were doing.

Enhanced Search

Add sort, time, flair, and operator filters to any search, and click any flair to instantly search for it. Find exactly the thread you remember.

RSS Feeds

Turn any subreddit, user, or search into a clean RSS feed you can follow in your reader of choice. Subscribe without an account.

Mobile-Friendly Classic

On iPhone and iPad, Alien Crow reflows old.reddit.com into a touch-friendly layout with proper tap targets, so the classic interface feels right on a phone.

Account Switcher

Keep several accounts on hand and switch between them in a click, with a warning before you lose any unsaved text.

Filtering & Cleanup

Hide posts by keyword, domain, or flair, strip tracking parameters from links, and tidy your history. Curate the feed you actually want.

User Insights

Profile pictures, a history analyzer, persistent user tags, and OP, mod, and admin badges so you always know who you are talking to.

Layout Tweaks

Wide mode, hidden sidebar, compact posts, zen mode, and multi-column feeds. Shape the page density to match how you read.

Bionic Reading

Bold the first part of each word to guide your eyes and read long threads faster. Tune how much gets emphasized.

Everything Is Optional

Every one of the 70+ modules can be enabled, disabled, and tuned from the popup or full settings page. Build the experience you want, one toggle at a time.

Infinite Scroll

Never-ending Reddit and comments. The next page and more replies load automatically as you scroll, so you keep reading without clicking next or load more.

Media Downloads

Save images, videos, and whole galleries straight from a post with a single button, no third-party site or screen recording required.

Custom CSS & Fonts

Inject your own stylesheet to restyle any part of the page, and choose a custom reading font for posts and comments.

True-Black OLED Mode

An OLED dark theme with pure-black backgrounds that saves power on OLED screens and looks striking on any display.

NSFW Controls

Blur NSFW thumbnails until you choose to reveal them, and open sensitive links in a private tab so they stay out of your history.

New Comment Tracking

Comments posted since your last visit are highlighted and counted, and a shortcut jumps you straight to the next unread reply.

Quick Reply & Live Preview

Reply inline without leaving the thread, with a formatting toolbar and a live markdown preview so you see exactly how your comment will look.

Subreddit Toolkit

A pinned shortcut bar for your favorite subreddits, subscriber and description info on hover, and a favicon next to every subreddit link.

Comment Search & Navigation

Search within a long thread, jump between top-level comments, and peek at a comment parent on hover without scrolling away.

Always Your Reddit

Force every link to open in old.reddit.com, or keep whichever version you prefer, so you are never bounced to the redesign by surprise.

Smarter Links

Open outbound links with a single click, expand media inline, preview where a link goes before you open it, and surface crossposts of the thread you are reading.

Privacy & History Tools

Strip tracking parameters from links you share, sanitize your browsing history, and disable the chat widget, with no account and nothing leaving your device.

Why Alien Crow

Built for people who love Reddit

Privacy First

Alien Crow runs entirely in your browser. It does not collect, transmit, or share any data, and every setting is stored locally on your device. There is no account and no server watching you.

Old and New Reddit

Every module is built for the fast, dense classic layout, and on first run Alien Crow can redirect the redesign back to it automatically. Modules also work on modern reddit.com, and the redirect is one toggle away if you prefer the new design.

Deeply Customizable

More than 70 modules, each with its own options. Turn on only what you want, tune the rest to taste, and end up with a Reddit that is genuinely yours rather than a one-size-fits-all redesign.

Native to Safari

A real Safari Web Extension for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, not a heavy add-on. It is fast, light on the battery, and feels at home in the browser you already use.

Requires Safari on macOS, iOS, or iPadOS. Works best on old.reddit.com, with module support for modern reddit.com.
