Description

Highlight unread comments since your last visit to a Reddit comment section.

Lightweight and customizable alternative to a feature normally reserved to Reddit gold users. It requires minimal permissions and syncs between browser sessions! It supports RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) night mode and custom CSS!

Note that highlights won't show until the second time you visit a comment thread after you install the extension.

Please report any problems you encounter to github issues page.

Works very inconsistently.

Very useful feature that Reddit hid behind a subscription. Happy the developer integrated support for redesign, sometimes the extension has some hiccups but it seems to work well now. If you use Reddit on a regular base, this is a very recommended must-have extension.
