About this extension
If anyone is like me, you particularly hate how Reddit defaults the home page to "best" every time you load it. To combat this annoying behavior, I created a simple Firefox browser extension. The extension is available for Firefox on desktop as well as Android devices!
It's free and allows you to set your preferred sort method for both the home page as well as subreddits. All it does is monitor the web URL adjust it to match your sort preference.
This is open source and code is posted on Github. https://github.com/defaultSortForReddit/defaultSortForReddit
