Reddit Comment Hover

By: pvrs12
This addon allows you to simply hover over the comments link on reddit for a quick preview

Features & Capabilities

A simple plugin which shows a preview of the reddit comments when you hover of the "comments" link on reddit. Just hover for a moment and a new frame will appear with the comments. You can scroll around, click links, do anything you want in this frame.

It's totally compatible with RES and makes browsing reddit a much more "tab-less" experience

Hey, developer, a request: is it possible to adjust the width? I can't really see 80+% of the window I'm in when it's in front, and don't need it to show the entire page, just the comments. I prefer this Chrome extension, which only shows the top 10 comments: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/reddit-comment-companion/dbcojchbgnoapagipaamdjfdkcmdgjek As it is, your extension jumps open too quickly when just mousing by comment links. At least allow for a full 2 seconds or some customizable parameter. Thanks.

Is Reddit Comment Hover 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 Comment Hover requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
