Find on Reddit
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

So cool to find this after Reddit Check stopped working. It's important for me to track upvotes to my blog posts on Reddit. This does an excellent job.
For the longest time, I was using the Reddit Check extension. However, it doesn’t look like it has updated to Manifest Version 3 yet, and might be disabled soon. I recently found Find on Reddit, and will switch to that to be safe. I do appreciate that both Reddit Check, and Find on Reddit are open source on GitHub.
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.
Doesn't work anymore
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.

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.
