Reader View & Markdown for Reddit Autor: abocha

Reader View for Reddit opens the current Reddit post in a dedicated reader page with a clean layout.

Features:
Open Reader View
- Click the extension icon, or use the keyboard shortcut (default: Alt+Shift+R).
- Right-click on a Reddit post page → Read in Reader View.
- Right-click a Reddit post link → Open link in Reader View (useful from feeds).
Settings (in Reader View)
- Theme, font, and alignment toggles.
- Open mode: same tab vs new tab.
Markdown Export
- Copy post as Markdown, or post + comments as Markdown.
- Download post Markdown, or post + comments Markdown.
- Comments export uses explicit structural fields (id, p, x, d) and ASCII tree connectors for human + agent readability.
Comments
- Default limit is 100 (configurable up to 500).
- Single toggle Smart thread curation:
- ON: expands useful deep branches and collapses hard-low-value noise.
- OFF: depth-only behavior.
- Local search supports free text and author:<name>.
- Bulk controls: Expand all, Collapse all, Reset view.
- Deep loading supports branch/root expansion via Reddit morechildren with bounded safety budgets (requests/nodes/time).
- The footer falls back to limit-step loading and “See more comments on Reddit” when placeholders are unavailable but Reddit still signals more comments.

Notes / Limitations

• Works on Reddit post URLs (/comments/...).
• Initial Reddit listing fetch is still practically limited (~500) and may include "more" placeholders.
• Deep loading is implemented with morechildren, but intentionally bounded to keep casual browsing smooth and responsive.
• Extremely large/locked/removed threads can still require opening the canonical Reddit page for full context.
