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

Latest reviews
- (2023-07-22) 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.
- (2023-07-03) J Bruce Feynman Niccolo P. “Nic” Bentulan: 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.
- (2022-08-20) Rajit Roy: Amazingly useful extension! Thanks for listening to and implementing suggestions :) Really appreciate the hard work.
- (2022-03-10) Tom Esparon: Really good extension. Works with Kiwi browser too
- (2022-02-05) Arthur Daniel: Either it doesn't work properly with Vivaldi or I don't get it.
- (2021-08-23) Simp Slayer: Really fast search results!
- (2021-05-27) njabyss: This is definitely an underrated extension.
