Just installed it, works like a charm -- I'll keep it this way. If only it could hide the sidebar as well.

Also, thanks to this post, I'm now aware of the fact that there are posts other than those listed on the homepage! I have no prior experience with Reddit, so I assumed that the front page is completely community-driven, but it turns out that it is for 'PROMOTED' posts only!

I spotted the word 'anti-kibitzer' in the sidebar, but was unable to find the post on the front page -- that's how I discovered the 'NEW' and 'POPULAR' links under the site banner.

Uh, now it's on the homepage. I'm completely confused. What determines if (and when) a post makes it to the homepage -- human intervention or some kind of algorithm?
