Reddit Check: Chrome Extension for Checking URL Submissions on Reddit

Reddit Check is a Chrome browser extension that enhances your Reddit experience by allowing you to promptly check if a specific URL has been submitted on Reddit. If it hasn't, the opportunity to do so is provided via a simple 'Submit this link' feature. In addition to saving time from reposting, it's an efficient tool for finding Reddit's comments on a particular blog or article, ensuring you're always connected with the conversations and discussions surrounding your browsing content. Furthermore, it allows blacklisting certain websites and includes cache results for reducing network overload.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension lets you check whether the current URL you are on has been submitted to reddit. You can jump right into the discussion if the the link has already been submitted. Otherwise a "Submit this link" is provided for a link to reddit submission page.

This extension will save you some time if you are about to repost a link. Also this extension is a quick way to check for reddit's comments on a blog or article.

** UPDATE 0.8

Cache results to reduce network overhead
Bug fixes: Sometimes, clicking the button opened the submission page even when there were results.

** UPDATE 0.7 UI Improvements

** UPDATE 0.6 Added Blacklist on Options page to not run Reddit Check on certain websites. For example, you may not want Reddit-Check to run on your company's internal website or your bank's website. You can add these to your blacklist. Adding "bank" will stop Reddit Check from running on any URL containing "bank".

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.
