Slightly bizarre that I would read about this first here, rather than on reddit.

I don't understand how this useful though. Aside from having your settings stored server-side, does it offer anything that RES doesn't?

I guess it's the inverse of your front page? Rather than whitelist, you blacklist?

I don't use RES, so it could be useful to someone like me.

Yeah, that's what it does, but RES already does it for free.

Probably pointing out the obvious, but it being server-side is probably a win for bandwidth-constrained people (though, I don't know how much bandwidth typical Reddit browsing uses.)? Unless RES does some fancy tricks?
