## Description

Profile Unhider reveals publicly indexed posts and comments for Reddit users who have set their profile to hidden.

When you visit a hidden Reddit profile, the extension automatically detects it and shows a "Reveal activity" button. Click it to instantly surface that user's posts and comments from Reddit's public search index — no login, no account, no setup required.
