Michael Marotta 2025-07-20: Extension stopped working. Could you please update it? "This extension is no longer available because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions."
Ryo Riot 2023-07-22: Update: I really miss this extension, since I moved over to https://old.lemmy.world - I wish it worked there too. Original: Works brilliantly! Really loving this extension in conjunction with RES. Can't wait for vote support!

Damon Bacheller 2022-05-04: A little buggy sometimes, where it might go off-screen, usually way above the area I'm looking at. I have to shrink the view to about 30% or so to find it again. I find it really useful, otherwise, saving me tons of clicks. One question to developers: Do you have a Firefox version available/in the works? The only one out there sucks, just pulling the entire post and all comments into a frame on hover.

Paul B. 2019-07-07: Works great with old.reddit, still not with the new reddit. Occasionally the comments can be collapsed only by clicking the [x] rather than anywhere on the page. The ability to vote will be nice. Also, would like to see the extension add the comments page to the browsers Visited database, so reddit's "New" flag will show if any comments are later added to the page. Very useful, nice job.

Jeffrey Zheng 2018-06-18: Used to have an autohide feature but now the option is gone. Was wondering if it was removed or just a bug. Still works fairly well though, just annoying to have to click the X or another link.

LaStarTrek 2018-05-25: Completley broken since Reddit's new redesign, even if I go back and use old.Reddit.com . Can you fix, please?

Anonymous 2018-01-08: It used to work normally, now it doesn't, shows the last ten comments instead of the first. When I hover over comments the comment box doesn't show the top comment, but rather stops at the middle with no way to scroll to the top.

Ben Benben 2017-09-14: Really nice, with a couple bugs: - When you first load a page it displays all your subs at the top for ~.3 seconds - When resizing a chrome window it will expand a random comment section if one isn't expanded

Anonymous 2017-05-01: Is this a bug? It appears to show the newest ten comments, as opposed to the top ten. Also, I would much rather have a button, as opposed to hovering over the 'comment' button. Great concept though. Also is there a settings menu? I couldn't find one, but that could just be me.

John Bao 2017-02-16: It was great for a while, but now it looks broken right now. The comments don't pop up anymore. It still loads, but no more pop-up.

Ramzi 2016-10-24: Wow! I can't believe I only just found this. What a fantastic utility. I've wanted something similar to this for a long time, and had hoped RES would add it eventually, but bravo Mr. Watkins! Night mode is working perfectly for me so far. Would love to see some options down the line. For example, adjusting the hover time to open and close the window. I'd also like to be able to vote on comments and reply to the thread within the window. That would make this PERFECT.

Brook Bourgeois 2015-01-03: Once you use this, it's hard to imagine how it's not been native to reddit or at least RES. Brilliant extension!
