Image from store Reddit Check
Description from store This extension lets you check whether the current URL you are on has been submitted to reddit. You can jump right into the discussion if the the link has already been submitted. Otherwise a "Submit this link" is provided for a link to reddit submission page. This extension will save you some time if you are about to repost a link. Also this extension is a quick way to check for reddit's comments on a blog or article. ** UPDATE 0.8 1. Cache results to reduce network overhead 2. Bug fixes: Sometimes, clicking the button opened the submission page even when there were results. ** UPDATE 0.7 UI Improvements ** UPDATE 0.6 Added Blacklist on Options page to not run Reddit Check on certain websites. For example, you may not want Reddit-Check to run on your company's internal website or your bank's website. You can add these to your blacklist. Adding "bank" will stop Reddit Check from running on any URL containing "bank". ** UPDATE 0.5 1. For youtube, check the url without '&feature=' and '&context='. Also do https + http. ** UPDATE 0.4 1. Better design 2. Show reddit post count on each tab in icon Thanks for the feedback!

  • (2021-05-20) Jeff Kang: Awesome extension, though it would be great to have the option to preview the comments of each submission, which you can do in the “Reddit Wherever” extension.
  • (2021-05-07) mark ifi: it's great, I've been using it for a year and it just works well
  • (2019-03-26) Ramon: Needs a whitelist only option. I don't need it checking every site. I have specific sites I want it to work on only. I don't wanna have to manually blacklist every other site.
  • (2018-04-22) Andrew Meyer: CAUTION: This extension sends all your browser history to Reddit. Take note: In order to display that little badge next to the extension showing how many Reddit posts exist for the current page, this extension searches Reddit for for the URL of the current page. Since it does this for _every_ page you visit, Reddit is getting a complete copy of your browser history in realtime. This isn't necessarily malicious behavior, since it would be very difficult to provide that feature without doing this, but I feel this is something that's important for users to be aware of.
  • (2017-10-28) Matthew Edmundson: Uses a lot of RAM for such a simple extension. There's a bug where it'll be blank for various sites, with only the close x showing.
  • (2017-08-15) Loppzor Koff: Great extension. But I would like a whitelist option.
  • (2017-01-20) David McElroy: Please add an option to exclude/blacklist some subreddits.
  • (2016-08-21) Simon Jenner: Sometimes clicking it takes me to a submit to Reddit page instead of showing me the normal window
  • (2016-08-12) Jeff Kang: I was using Reddit Companion. Once a link is posted, Companion shows you 1 subreddit, but doesn't seem to show you whether the link was posted in other locations. Reddit Check instantly shows you all the locations.
  • (2016-08-04) manda jt: Pretty good, but lately (Aug 2016) it says videos/sites/articles haven't been posted but they have. I ended up reposting something that someone else posted yesterday because I thought it hadn't been posted yet. Kinda annoying.
  • (2016-02-18) Ryan Finkler: This extension does exactly what I need. The only major complaint I have is that clicking the button will sometimes open a new tab at times it shouldn't, and this gets really annoying. Sometimes I just want to see the list and it does that instead. In fact, please allow for the option to disable that feature altogether. Another small thing. When I middle click a link in the dropdown, don't make the dropdown go away. Only make it to that if I click on the button again or I click off of it. Please make these changes.
  • (2016-02-01) Brandon Lindquist: Needs an option to only check pages I ask it to, instead of every page I visit.
  • (2015-11-01) Girl With the nerdy tattoo: Excellent addon especially if you are dealing with news links such as political stories where you MUST be first to post or not bother
  • (2015-08-30) Aaron Mauldin: Fantastic. Can't recommend this enough.
  • (2014-09-09) hg vg: solid
  • (2014-01-04) Alex Gordon: Many times a link was posted already on the subreddit I am posting that link on. And it does now show up as posted already
  • (2013-09-30) Alex B: Great app. Works exactly as advertised. Shows all of the posts quickly and shows you the score of each one so you can look for the most popular one. What I also like is that if nothing is there, you can directly submit it to reddit. A+ would reccomend
  • (2013-09-17) Alex Gillings: Great extension but I wish it always opened the little drop down menu instead of opening the new tab unpredictably
  • (2013-08-06) Christofer Garner: Works great.
  • (2013-07-12) Chris Martinelli: Good but a little unpredictable in results. Used side-by-side with reddit anywhere and had better luck there. Also, disable auto-check and links that originate from reddit?
  • (2013-06-07) scrungo beepis: Excellent app, a must have for every redditor. Not only it helped to find submitted links it has also helped to find me tons of new subreddits. Only thing that irks me a little bit is that links with more than 100 upvotes have number too close to the border of the 'bubble'. But that's it.
  • (2013-06-07) Works great since the latest update, great redesign!
  • (2013-02-26) justin bogardus: was great before, now it is just stuck on leading...please wait. cant really use it anymore can you see if there is a bug?

  • (2022-12-19, v:0.8.1) mark ifi: could you please make the red zero indicator grey
    could you please make the red zero indicator grey it's distracting. red in the corner of the screen usually marks an incoming message/email or optional
  • (2022-12-19, v:0.8.1) mark ifi: sometimes it doesn't find pages that have entries in reddit
    sometimes it doesn't find pages that have entries in reddit
  • (2022-02-19, v:0.8.1) mark ifi: zero should not be there
    would you make the counter disappear if there aren't any results? the red zero looks a lot like a normal notification of a message and i always do a second take before i see it's just the extension
  • (2021-05-07, v:0.8.1) mark ifi: would you consider implementing an "open all" button?
    ?
  • (2020-12-12, v:0.8.1) Richard Silverstein: Extension isn't registering Reddit upvotes for blog post
    I'm using your extension and even though this blog post has upvotes on several subs, it's not registering any. When I click on the extension icon it opens a reddit post page instead of a pop up showing which subs have upvoted the blog post. https://www.richardsilverstein.com/2020/12/11/israel-u-s-morocco-quid-pro-quo-morocco-normalizes-with-israel-u-s-recognizes-western-sahara-annexation/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Palestine/comments/kay2pp/normalization_in_return_for_betraying_the/
  • (2020-04-26, v:0.8.1) Yeechang Lee: Keep popup open
    Please consider adding an option to keep the popup open after clicking on a Reddit link. Usually there are multiple relevant threads.
  • (2018-11-13, v:0.8.1) Matthew Edmundson: URLs with question marks (query strings) don't generally pick up the top reddit discussions, especially when the query string pertains to per-user tracking
    A setting to make this extension ignore everything after a question mark would bring up better results. Often, you don't get *any* results on reddit because the query string is doing per-user tracking, which is unique, making the URL unique, rather than the universal URL.
  • (2018-09-25, v:0.8.1) Wesley Thompson: When I click on the icon the menu vibrates back and forth
    see title https://gyazo.com/ddc96749b44aa432eb19993483a4bded
  • (2017-12-04, v:0.8.1) Fred Davison: Filter certain subreddits
    Hi. Thanks for your efforts towards this extension. It works really well now that some of the minor bugs have been ironed out. My one wish is to be able to block certain subreddits from being checked and showing in the counter. This is because people have set up subreddits to post content automatically from certain sites, e.g. the Guardian, & lots of tech sites. I never ever care about these auto-aggregator subreddits (/r/guardianauto, /r/thecolorisblue) because they don't generate discussion and don't really want them to show up in the counter. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
  • (2017-11-21, v:0.8.1) Matthew Edmundson: Blank drop down issue
    Here's an example website where I'm seeing a blank drop down for Reddit Check, when the link exists on Reddit. https://weather.com/news/trending/video/georgia-dome-implosion-blocked-by-bus
  • (2017-10-23, v:0.8.1) mark ifi: bypass popup window
    instead of using chrome.windows.create, could there be a setting to bypass the extension's popup, and go straight to a reddit search in a new tab? I think it would be faster, and more handy.
  • (2017-10-23, v:0.8.1) mark ifi: hotkey
    any chance of implementing a hotkey into this? great extension nonetheless.
  • (2016-11-10, v:0.7.1) Matthew Karns: Sometimes the extension just doesn't function
    I have a screenshot of me reading an article on Vox and then the extension icon showing "7" reddit posts, but then the drop down shows 20+ completely unrelated threads.
  • (2016-09-27, v:0.7.1) Matt Young: 0 badge color
    The latest chrome update in the stable channel with a "material design" look and feel has made the badge for 0 bright red, which is quite distracting. Could you please remove the badge for 0? Or add an option to do so? Thanks.
  • (2016-06-25, v:0.7.1) Anas Taji: Spotify Check
    An idea for another extension is spotify check. You give the extension the URL of a particular song, and the extension looks for where was this song mentioned in other playlists. This way you can discover a multitude of new songs.
  • (2016-03-11, v:0.7.1) Christopher Dobson: Successive presses are broken
    Initially clicking the extension icon on a particular webpage will bring up the subreddits the article is already posted to and allows opening of a new tab to the reddit thread it was posted to. However, returning back to the article's tab and clicking the extension icon a second time results in a redirection to the reddit post submission page.
