User Reviews
Users mostly praise the add-on for reliably highlighting comments and express strong appreciation. However, several reviewers report it stopped working for them or has compatibility issues, and night/dark-mode color detection is inconsistent across setups. Pros
- Generally works well and effectively highlights comments — multiple users say it "works great".
- Widely praised and appreciated — several reviewers give high ratings and thank the developer.
- Reported to work for users on common Reddit setups and some report success in dark mode/old.reddit.com.
Cons
- Has stopped working for some users or after recent updates (version/Firefox compatibility problems).
- Night mode/dark mode color handling is inconsistent — may not detect night mode or apply correct highlight colors.
- Reliability is mixed across different Reddit layouts/environments (some users report it doesn't work).
Recent reviews
Seems to work well. That this isn't basic ui for reddit is crazy to me.

Is Reddit (Au) Comment Highlights Safe?
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.
Reddit (Au) Comment Highlights requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious.

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 Firefox add-on.
