Kyle Ellis (ID: 0000003036714682) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/13/2015 Currently not working. Have tried on various reddit pages. Neither the keyboard shortcut nor the scroll option seems to be doing anything. If I can figure it out I'll give it 5 stars like I wanted to.

Nandish Hegde (ID: 000000c4702a02c6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/19/2015 The keyboard combination to scroll between top comments still works but the mouse-scroll box does not. Reddit Comments Collapser is an alternative if you don't want to use the keyboard.
