BlueSun (ID: 0000006ad465a904) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/22/2022 Overall it's good, but the links are improper leading to broken formatting and functionality on the page. It's pretty annoying needing to remove the extra slash every time.

Nimish Khokhar (ID: 000000b0f39de06d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/17/2020 This extension is amazing. It helps find interesting discussions on reddit regarding the content I am reading/viewing.

This helps in analyzing how the discussion in that comment thread originated. 2. A dark them would definitely increase the ux
