Reddit Hot as Default

Juan Cruz Montes

Tired of Reddit defaulting to the “Best” feed, which often feels like anything but? This lightweight extension automatically redirects you from reddit.com to the Hot feed every time you land on the homepage — no clicking required. It works instantly, preserves any query parameters in the URL, and even handles Reddit’s in-page navigation (SPA). Whether you're typing the URL manually, clicking the Reddit logo, or returning from a post, you'll always be taken straight to the Hot tab — where the real action is. It also works in Subreddits. No permissions. No tracking. Just a simple redirect to make Reddit a little more honest.
