Description

Find discussions of the current URL on Reddit

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

Extension works for me I don't know what others are talking about

So I can't agree that this extension works. Mine has been broken for at least as long as the previous reviewer who left a review on June 20, 2024. It's just not accessing the API at all, and is acting like the API is non-existent. I've no idea why. I assumed the project had been abandoned. I'm sorry, I can't help more than that, I don't know where to start troubleshooting it. It's for every page.
