Install Compare

Find on Reddit is a minimal and lightweight Chrome extension designed to help you quickly locate Reddit discussions for the current webpage URL. Leveraging Reddit's public API, it allows you to perform exact or fuzzy searches to uncover related submission threads, enhancing your browsing experience by connecting you with community insights.

Key features include automatic background searching for every URL you visit, special handling of YouTube video IDs to catch all link variations, and options to ignore URL query strings for broader matching. Users can sort results by score, comment count, age, or subreddit, and blacklist sites to exclude them from auto-search. Additionally, cached results reduce network usage, and a dark-themed options page enables easy customization. Open-source and regularly updated, this extension is perfect for users wanting to seamlessly explore Reddit conversations tied to their web activity.

User reviews

Find on Reddit is praised as a useful, fast, and effective replacement for older tools like Reddit Check, with open-source availability and good browser compatibility. However, multiple users report functionality issues, especially concerning API access, and desire better in-page notifications for Reddit thread associations. Despite some compatibility concerns, the extension is valued for its quick search and developer responsiveness.

Pros

Effectively replaces the older Reddit Check extension and supports tracking upvotes.
Open source on GitHub, appreciated by users.
Provides fast search results and is easy to use.
Works well with multiple browsers, including Kiwi.
Receives positive feedback for implementation of user suggestions and continuous improvements.

Cons

Some users report the extension not working at all, especially issues accessing the Reddit API.
Lack of integrated alerts or on-page notifications indicating if a URL has an associated Reddit thread.
Potential compatibility issues with certain browsers like Vivaldi.

So cool to find this after Reddit Check stopped working. It's important for me to track upvotes to my blog posts on Reddit. This does an excellent job.

For the longest time, I was using the Reddit Check extension. However, it doesn’t look like it has updated to Manifest Version 3 yet, and might be disabled soon. I recently found Find on Reddit, and will switch to that to be safe. I do appreciate that both Reddit Check, and Find on Reddit are open source on GitHub.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Find on Reddit requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
