Helpful extensions for moderators

(Also called add-ons)

*“A browser extension is a small software module for customizing a web browser. Browsers typically allow a variety of extensions, including user interface modifications, ad blocking, and cookie management.”* -Wikipedia

Extensions in this case can be added to your browser to increase functionality, or improve your experience on reddit.

Extension availability may vary between browsers.

Some common/useful for mods extensions:

Snoonotes as well as been useful if you've run out of space with Toolbox, also allows you to tag users in places where you don't mod but can tag them for further notes such as recruiting mods etc

And maybe having a bit of fun too[1] 😇
