Find on Reddit Extension

Minimal, light-weight, open-source extension that finds Reddit submission threads of the current URL using Reddit's public API. You can either initiate the search by clicking the extension button, or by having auto-search enabled, which automatically does the search in the background for every URL you visit.

Other features include:
- Do an exact or a fuzzy search
- Special YouTube handling: search by video ID to find all variations of YouTube links
- Ignore URL's query-string
- Sort results by score, # of comments, age, or subreddit
- Blacklist sites to exclude them from auto-search
- Cache results for a (configurable) amount of time to reduce network usage

Shenmue Is Life (ID: 000000abbe942f03) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/22/2023 I think the extension lacks of only one feature: a real alert or integrated message to the current web page to indicate the URL has associated reddit thread rather than a discrete count in the extension bar. Then it will become a must have. The developer has gold in his hands.

J Bruce Feynman Niccolo P. “Nic” Bentulan (ID: 00000013bb618255) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/03/2023 Before I was using camas & posting on my own dummy subreddits to find out if something was posted before. Both of those methods suck. This extension rules.

Rajit Roy (ID: 00000006fa5dd85c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/20/2022 Amazingly useful extension! Thanks for listening to and implementing suggestions :) Really appreciate the hard work.
