great extension, has worked flawlessly for me on the traditional reddit design, unfortunately i tried the redesign reddit today which no doubt will be future reddit and this didn't work, i really hope this gets updated for it as i quite like reddit redesign

Despite having set the maximum storage period of 2 weeks, the highlighter often doesn't work on threads just a few days old.

RES will show that there are new comments but this extension will often fail to highlight them in threads that I've subscribed to and haven't visited in a few days (but still well under the 2-week flush limit).

OTOH, this extension works well for recently-posted and/or recently visited threads.

Didn't work. This is a scam. They must have used fake accounts.
