Show HN: Reddit Unread Comments – track new comments on Reddit easier
github.com
I made a Firefox/Chrome extension for easier tracking of new comments in Reddit threads. Have you ever felt frustrated having to scroll and reread 100 comments thread just to find a few new scattered comments? If yes, then this extension is for you. Hopefully it will save you nerves and time, give it a try and let me know your impressions.
The extension is completely free and open source using MIT license. It is privacy aware, runs completely client side and no data ever leaves your browser and no user activity or data is tracked. It is completely unobtrusive to the existing Reddit's website behavior, you wont notice any changes in the website behavior and performance. Also it runs only in `reddit.com` (no `old.reddit.com` and `new.reddit.com`) pages and any other domain is intact and doesn't load the extension code.
You can find the code, links to Firefox and Chrome stores, install binaries and documentation here:

You can install the extension either from the store, manually import the binaries from the Release page, or build it yourself from source.
