About this extension
Seamlessly explore hidden user profiles, read deleted comments, and view removed posts natively within the Reddit interface.

Reddit Unhider is a powerful utility extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by revealing hidden Reddit user profiles, restoring deleted comments, and recovering removed posts. Whether you are trying to read a discussion that was heavily moderated, following a comment thread where context was lost to deleted messages, or exploring a user profile that has been set to private, this extension seamlessly retrieves the missing data and integrates it directly into the native Reddit interface.

How It Works:
When you browse Reddit, you will sometimes encounter dead ends—such as a profile displaying the "likes to keep their profile hidden" message, or a comment section filled with [deleted] tags. Reddit Unhider works in the background to automatically bypass these restrictions. By communicating with the Arctic Shift repository and utilizing your browser's local cache, it rebuilds the exact original text of missing posts and comments without requiring you to leave the page or use third-party archive websites.

Main Features:
• View Hidden Profiles: Automatically bypass privacy restrictions to access a comprehensive feed of a user's complete post and comment history directly on their profile page.
• Read Deleted Comments: Restore removed comments in their original position within the comment tree. The extension assigns unique avatar colors to deleted users, making it easy to track who replied to whom across long conversations.
• Uncover Removed Posts: Instantly recover the original body text of posts that were either deleted by the author or removed by subreddit moderators.
• Native UI Integration: Enjoy a seamless reading experience. The injected content dynamically matches Reddit's native light and dark modes, spacing, and typography so it looks like standard Reddit content.
• Efficient Data Retrieval: The extension intelligently fetches archived data on demand, ensuring fast load times and minimal impact on your system resources.

Privacy First and Secure
Reddit Unhider is built with user privacy as a top priority. It operates entirely without background databases, analytics trackers, or user telemetry. The extension only requests the minimum permissions necessary to detect Reddit page navigation and securely fetch archived text from the API. Your personal browsing data is never collected or stored.

Note Regarding Data Availability
Data restoration depends entirely on the third-party Arctic Shift repository. If a Reddit post or comment was deleted immediately after posting—before the archive system could securely index it—the content may not be recoverable.
