How to browse 4chan (the best tools)

The following is a simple and short guide to optimizing your 4chan browsing experience. The guide is written out of personal preference and I will not include extensions or tools that I do not have any experience with/do not particularly like.

These are the tools that I recommend:


4chan Browser: Lets you see all threads, auto-updates, customizable, lets you search for specific content and more.

Download it here.

4chan Catalog: Browser-based, lets you see all threads, built-in CSS customization, filters, no advertisements. Doesn't feature all boards and has certain update intervals.

4chan X: Filtering, image expanding, post backlinking and highlighting, keybindings, automatic post-fetching, thread stats, image sourcing and much more.

Get it here.


OneeChan: Customizes the CSS of the boards for optimal usability and looks. Uses Stylish, which you'll need to install.

OneeChan is based on AppChan which is discontinued.

Get OneeChan here.


Useful scripts for GreaseMonkey or Scriptish (run natively in Chrome):

Linkify Plus (if it doesn't function properly with 4chan X use 4chan linkify instead)
YouTube Link Title




That concludes this guide. If there was anything that you believe was missing from it, please do not hesitate to notify me via the comments.
