# What's New, Reddit?

A [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/whats-new-reddit/lmfhahhaacglnpjlfincodafedalgeai) and [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/whats-new-reddit/) web extension by Mr Speaker ([@mrspeaker](http://twitter.com/mrspeaker))

Life coming at you too fast? Can't keep up with it all? You need *What's New, Reddit*.

![screener-640](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/129330/26464043/681ad646-4154-11e7-9e62-40e53716f0aa.jpg)

Never hit that F5 key again. whats-new-reddit automatically updates and visually highlights what posts are new. Leave the page, comeback later - updates are now easy to spot. It also adds in how many new comments are new for each post.

* [Chrome WebStore](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/whats-new-reddit/lmfhahhaacglnpjlfincodafedalgeai)

* [Firefox Add-On](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/whats-new-reddit/)

* Refresh Time: how frequently (in seconds) the page will auto-refresh.

* Colors:

  * New Post: the highlight colour for new posts

  * Progress bar: the small "loading bar" at the top of the page

  * Progress edge: the "edge" line of the loading bar

### Firefox
