David Kis (ID: 00000034c119a2a5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/19/2019 Great extension, been using it for years, perfect if you just want to quickly look at the comments without wanting to open the post. But for longer comment browsing like on /r/AskReddit, I don't recommend using the extension and instead just open the comments in a new tab.
