User reviews

Sadly, Google have killed this one off. Don't bother.

Seems to be dead now. I'm assuming it has to do with Manifest V3, since the GitHub for this extension was last updated seven years ago. Find on Reddit still works, as another review points out.

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.
