User reviews

It's a great bonus for Reddit but it tends to grab the wrong tweet in a chain. I also with it displayed pics/vids in it too. Otherwise I love it.

I browse Reddit a lot, and this extension makes it less of a pain to view tweets by players/writers/etc. The developer seems to be very active and receptive as well, which is always a plus!
