User reviews


Works great except for the comments. It only captures the initial comment and not the replies/thread itself. I love this extension for easy text extraction for reddit posts, but the comment replies not working lowered the star.

I just installed it yesterday and its been working great. I hope it doesn't break in a future update because it looks like it is no longer updated.
