Reddit (Au) Comment Highlights

Download extension

Highlight unread comments since your last visit to a Reddit comment section.NOTICE: The extension is broken in Reddits redesign - the traditional layout is required in order for the extension to function. You can change this by unchecking "Use the redesign as my default experience" in the site preferences, or use "old.reddit.com".

Lightweight and customizable alternative to a feature normally reserved to Reddit gold users. It requires minimal permissions and syncs between browser sessions! It supports RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) night mode and custom CSS!

Note that highlights won't show until the second time you visit a comment thread after you install the extension.

Please report any problems you encounter to github issues page.
