Extension Usage Instructions
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
