Extension summary

Are you constantly refreshing Reddit to see what's new?

You haven't checked in a while and now there are several pages of new posts. You wish you could say "Hey, Reddit: What's New?"

This extension will highlight any Reddit posts you have not seen yet. Once highlighted, it'll remember what you've seen and not highlight those again. You can customize the highlight color from the extension icon and enable/disable highlighting if needed. A simple Reddit Enhancement that you'll wonder how you ever lived without.

---Compatible with Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES)---

Note: While post history isn't infinite, it'll store posts for a long while. You shouldn't have a problem with having a post highlight twice.

The permissions that are requested are the minimum needed to allow the extension to function.

Such a great extension for Reddit!

Really solid extension. The only thing is, now I'll probably spend even more time on Reddit than I should. Tracks posts for quite some time as well.
