This script completely disables and removes Reddit's search history feature, which is saved locally in your browser.

How it Works

When you search on Reddit, it keeps a list of your recent searches in your browser's Local Storage. This script works by continuously monitoring and deleting the specific storage key (recent-searches-store) that Reddit uses.

This ensures two things:

  • Any existing search history is instantly cleared when you load the page.
  • New searches are never saved, giving you a cleaner and more private experience.

It's a lightweight, set-and-forget solution.
