Use Chrome to batch-check Reddit subreddit notifications

A Reddit user tried to have Claude in Chrome switch off subreddit notifications one by one through Reddit’s settings.

What they did
They asked Claude in Chrome to open Reddit’s settings area and work through the notification controls for each subreddit they follow. The goal was to change the settings manually through the site’s interface, since Reddit seemed to handle them individually.
How it went
The attempt failed right away. Claude hit a “Can’t access this page” message and could not proceed, so no notification changes were made.
Tips
This kind of task depends on the site allowing browser access to the settings page. If you try it, ask the agent to pause before any setting is saved and to report which subreddits were changed or skipped.

Try it yourself with Claude in Chrome

Open my Reddit account settings and review the notification preferences for every subreddit I follow. For each one, turn notifications off except for [subreddits to keep]. Keep a count as you go and tell me which subreddits were checked. If you reach any step that would save changes, pause and ask for my approval before confirming. Do not unsubscribe me, and do not alter any other settings.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
