VERDICT

Should I use Reddit Enhancement Suite?

Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) is a community-driven unofficial browser extension for enhancing your reddit experience. - redditenhancementsuite.com

Depends. Use it only if you browse old.reddit.com daily and want free night mode, endless scroll, filtering, and multi-account switching. Skip it if you use the new Reddit interface, Reddit mobile, or expect actively maintained software.

Free, open-source old-Reddit power toolkit — but effectively unmaintained and useless on new Reddit. Great if you live on old.reddit.
