3 Ways to Fix Reddit Enhancement Suite if It’s Not Working

Reddit is a social media platform that allows users to share, vote, and comment on content. It includes a wide range of topics in its communities, which are called subreddits.

You can also track your Reddit feed on Windows which is just one of its many useful features. Whereas it is a great platform, some users don’t find it user-friendly and would rather use a plugin to enhance their experience.

The Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) is a browser extension for improving the usability of the Reddit website and provides several features such as quick access to many important functions, like voting, commenting, messaging, and saving links.

?️Quick Tip:

The Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) is accessible in any browser, but you may be surprised how smooth it works in the Opera browser. You may move all of your extensions, bookmarks, passwords, and other stored data from your current browser to Opera and experience a fully optimized add-on.  

Since you have a browser that gives you a hard time enjoying RES, you could switch to Opera to take this add-on to the next level of awesomeness.
