## Description

A browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that gives you an instant vibe of who's commenting. It displays coloured split-pill badges next to Reddit usernames showing their most active subreddits — visible at a glance without leaving the page.

Works on both <strong><a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/a1b4e6d4424a017e62e400fca715d2086015588f28c068da20c3c5217a52b04d/http%3A//www.reddit.com" rel="nofollow">www.reddit.com</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/d613ac6f1e810cb84d22fb73d71bcee20261111b03bca28c0892071be47c0f2f/http%3A//old.reddit.com" rel="nofollow">old.reddit.com</a></strong>.

<strong>HOW IT WORKS</strong>
When an author link scrolls into view the extension queries the Arctic Shift API to retrieve that user's top subreddits by activity. A huge thank-you to <strong>Arthur Heitmann</strong> and the Arctic Shift project for making this data openly accessible — this extension would not be possible without it.
<blockquote><strong>Note on activity counts:</strong> the count shown on each pill represents <strong>combined posts and comments</strong> the user has made in that subreddit during the configured time period, not posts-only.</blockquote>
<strong>FEATURES</strong>
<ul><li><strong>Split-pill badges</strong> — each badge shows <code>[subreddit | count]</code> with distinct background colours for the subreddit name and the activity count.</li><li><strong>All subreddits</strong> — not limited to any specific community; shows whichever subreddits a user is most active in.</li><li><strong>Sorted by activity</strong> — pills are ordered highest-count first.</li><li><strong>Click to search</strong> — clicking a pill opens an author-scoped subreddit search (<code>/r/SUBREDDIT/search?q=author:USER</code>) in a new tab.</li><li><strong>Visibility detection</strong> — only processes links currently in the viewport; new content loaded by infinite scroll is picked up automatically.</li><li><strong>De-duplication</strong> — already-labelled links are skipped; concurrent requests for the same username are coalesced into one.</li><li><strong>Rate-limit handling</strong> — respects <code>x-ratelimit-*</code> headers; shows a clickable retry badge when paused.</li><li><strong>1-week cache</strong> (configurable) — user data is cached in <code>chrome.storage.local</code> and only re-fetched after expiry.</li><li><strong>Options page</strong> — configure API parameters, pill colours, cache duration, and pause/resume the extension without reloading the page.</li></ul>
