Erase Recent Subs

A lightweight Tampermonkey userscript that removes Reddit's “Recent Subreddits” section by deleting its saved data from localStorage every time you open a new Reddit tab or refresh the homepage. No timers, no loops — just clean browsing.

✨ Features

  • Automatically erases the recent-subreddits-store from localStorage
  • Runs once per page load — no performance impact
  • Keeps the Reddit sidebar minimal and private

🔧 Installation

  1. Install the Tampermonkey extension from tampermonkey.net if you haven’t already.

  2. Visit the script page:

    👉 Erase Recent Subs – GreasyFork

  3. Click the “Install this script” button.

  4. Done! The script will now automatically remove the "Recent Subreddits" section each time you open a new Reddit tab or refresh the homepage.

🧠 How It Works

Reddit stores your recently visited subreddits in a localStorage key called recent-subreddits-store.
This script removes that key once the page loads, preventing the list from appearing — effective when opening a new Reddit tab or refreshing the homepage.
