The Reddit app provides a slideshow view. The website does not. Reddit Slideshow implements it.

As of April 2022, some animated GIF providers have blocked chrome extensions from accessing their content which is so dumb but whatever. To get around this a proxy server is used. This server just removes the restriction. No additional data is sent to the server and the server does not store any data. Its initially disabled and you will need to approve (or opt out) of its use when you run your first slideshow.
This extension DOES allow Reddit to track its usage along with the other tracking Reddit does on its website. None of this information is transmitted outside of Reddit including to the author of this extension.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
