A very surprising problem I’ve had moving to EndeavourOS is my Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) no longer opening up links in the nice expand feature it had before. Usually there would be a little button next to the link, you’d press that and it would insert the content there in the page. It worked perfectly on Manjaro, Windows, but seemingly not on this OS. The only difference I can think of is me now running EndeavourOS with Wayland.
The problem was fixed thanks to a reddit thread from over 2 years ago. Crazy thing is this still hasn’t been fixed!
Simply put, all you do is head to your RES preferences
- Go to Extensions
- Scroll to RES, open the … menu and select Preferences
- Search for the Permissions Setting and click the On Off Toggle
- It’ll open up a new web page, this is the important part
- Right click on that open web page and open up the developer tools (Right click -> inspect)
- Head to the Console section and paste in the following
window.location.href - You should then be given some kind of address within quotations, take that, paste it into your main browser, then click the Request Permissions button on that page, the tab should now properly request permissions.
It seems to bug out when this request permissions window is open in a new window, perhaps a fault with the pop up? Not entirely sure, but this will fix it!
