Find on Reddit
Extension Actions
- Extension status: Featured
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.
- Jeff Kang
- 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
- Chris
- 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.
- Chris And
- Doesn't work anymore
- Shenmue Is Life
- 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.
