Plugin - Hide recent subreddits


  


    Hide the 'Recent Subreddits' section to avoid potential embarrassment in case you accidentally visit any NSFW subreddits!

  



## About The Project

When you visit a subreddit, a “Recent” section is added to the left sidebar, displaying all your recently visited subreddits. While this feature can be convenient, it might be less desirable if you’ve visited NSFW subreddits. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find an option to remove this section through the site’s settings. Instead, I had to go into the site’s local storage and delete the key “recent-subreddits-store.” It’s not a huge hassle, but I prefer not having any history on my homepage.

With this simple plugin, you can easily toggle the visibility of your recent subreddits. Once installed, a Reddit icon will appear in your browser’s URL bar. Clicking this icon allows you to switch between hiding and viewing the “Recent” section. By default, the section will be hidden.

## Set up development environment

To test the plugin, you have two options:

1.	In the Firefox URL bar, type about:debugging, click on “This Firefox,” then select “Load Temporary Add-on…” and choose any file from the plugin directory.

2.	Use the web-ext command-line tool, which opens a separate Firefox window for testing. It automatically reloads when file changes occur and can also be used for building and publishing the plugin.

Learn more about these approaches in [about:debugging](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Your_first_WebExtension#installing) and [web-ext](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/getting-started-with-web-ext/).
