Terrific comment, thank you. First, I've un-minified the Chrome extension code (only added 2kb in size), and it will remain that way going forward. It will take up to an hour for it to propagate to the Chrome Web Store, but the Firefox extension code is un-minified currently : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kiwi-conversations/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kiwi-conversa... (thanks to their review process, which requires it not be minified). The Chrome code is also available on Github : https://github.com/sdailey/kiwi https://github.com/sdailey/kiwi As for the results vs Reddit check -- maybe Reddit check uses a home-rolled API that crawls more frequently than Reddit's official API? Could you either tweet me the specific links or reply to this comment?

Some links that have been posted to reddit, but it can't see: http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/july-2015/one-higgs-is-the-loneliest-number http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/july-2015/one-higgs-... https://medium.com/recreating-megaman-2-using-js-webgl https://medium.com/recreating-megaman-2-using-js-webgl http://calvertjournal.com/features/show/4458/owen-hatherley-postcards-landscapes-of-communism http://calvertjournal.com/features/show/4458/owen-hatherley-... https://github.com/MuseumofModernArt/collection/ https://github.com/MuseumofModernArt/collection/ (If you search reddit for any of these URLs it goes straight to where they have been posted.)

  Thanks. Maybe reddit's API filters out some results that have zero comments. I looked for an attribute in their API that would ask for all results but couldn't find anything. Also - I'd like to inspect Reddit Check's code but can't find an open-source repo https://www.reddit.com/dev/api#GET_search https://www.reddit.com/dev/api#GET_search

    I looked at Reddit Check's background page and checked the network requests it was sending. It sends a request like this: https://www.reddit.com/api/info.json?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.symmetrymagazine.org%2Farticle%2Fjuly-2015%2Fone-higgs-is-the-loneliest-number https://www.reddit.com/api/info.json?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sy... Weirdly it seems to send the same request several times. And it should also use an &limit=100, so it gets 100 results instead of 25.

  These links turned out to be extremely valuable feedback. Reddit's response is formed differently for them (as opposed to what it gives 95% of the time). I'll have an update very soon. [Update: new version has pushed to Chrome -- Kiwi should be processing all Reddit results now. Firefox update will be pushed tonight.]
