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.

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.
