# AI Chrome extension for Reddit: synthesize Old & New Reddit threads on screen.

Highlight nested Reddit comment threads on r/ExperiencedDevs, r/sysadmin, r/AskHistorians, or product review threads and synthesize consensus answers.

> **Best fit:** Best for researchers, engineers, and buyers who append 'reddit' to searches and want to synthesize long comment chains on both www.reddit.com and old.reddit.com.

## Live Webpage Walkthrough

- **Source:** old.reddit.com/r/sysadmin — Post-Broadcom VMware Migration Megathread (`old.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/example`)
- **Recommended Context Mode:** Basic

**Highlighted Passage:**
> Comment 1 (310 pts): Moved 180 hosts to Proxmox VE + Ceph. Compute migration was easy, but our storage team had to learn Ceph CRUSH maps the hard way.
Comment 2 (215 pts): If you have existing Fibre Channel SAN arrays (Pure/NetApp), be careful with Proxmox multipath LVM—shared FC LUN snapshots don't work like VMFS. We went Nutanix AHV for FC sites.
Comment 3 (140 pts): Hyper-V on Server 2025 worked fine for our Windows shop since we already owned Datacenter licensing.

**User Question (Shortcut):** "Build a decision summary of which hypervisor replacement fits which existing storage/licensing setup based on these sysadmins."

**Vezz me On-Screen Answer:**
1. **Proxmox VE + Ceph**: Best for hyperconverged local NVMe clusters willing to invest in learning Ceph CRUSH maps.
2. **Existing Fibre Channel SAN (Pure / NetApp)**: **Caution with Proxmox**—shared FC LUN multipath LVM lacks VMFS-style snapshot parity; practitioners with heavy FC SAN investments preferred **Nutanix AHV**.
3. **Windows Server 2025 Hyper-V**: Lowest friction if you already pay for Microsoft Datacenter core licensing.

**Suggested Follow-Ups:**
- "Format this into a Markdown pros/cons table for our infrastructure team."
- "What does 'Ceph CRUSH map' mean in Comment 1?"

## Step-by-step workflow

1. **Highlight the top practitioner comments in the thread**: Collapse pun threads or low-effort replies and highlight the substantive comment blocks on `reddit.com` or `old.reddit.com`.
2. **Ask for conditional recommendations ('Best for X vs Best for Y')**: Press your shortcut and ask Vezz me to group commenter advice by environment or budget rather than giving a single generic winner.
3. **Decode subreddit-specific jargon and acronyms**: Highlight any unfamiliar acronym block in finance, homelab, or medical subreddits and ask Vezz me to translate it.

## Works identically on Old Reddit (`old.reddit.com`) and New Reddit

Many Reddit-specific extensions hardcode New Reddit's shadow-DOM components (`shreddit-comment`) and break on Old Reddit or RES.

- Because Vezz me reads standard browser text selections (`window.getSelection()`) via `activeTab`, it works 100% reliably on both `old.reddit.com` and `www.reddit.com`
- Zero conflicts with Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) or uBlock Origin
- Never tracks which subreddits you browse in the background

## Using AI on Reddit

Comparing selected-text synthesis with DOM-dependent scrapers.

| Method | Strengths | Tradeoffs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Vezz me on Highlighted Subtree | Works on Old & New Reddit, filters out pun replies, and preserves browsing privacy | Triggered on the comment block you select |
| DOM-dependent Reddit scraper extensions | Auto-summarizing the top post | Frequently breaks on Old Reddit / UI updates and requires reddit.com host permissions |
| Reading 15 open Reddit tabs manually | Browsing casual threads | Hard to compare 10 different hardware/software recommendations across tabs |

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Vezz me work alongside Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES)?

Yes. Because Vezz me does not modify page scripts or inject persistent styles, it has zero conflicts with RES on Chrome or Firefox.

### Can Vezz me summarize a 3,000-word r/AskHistorians or r/AskScience answer?

Yes! Highlight the multi-part answer and use our Executive Three-Bullet Brief preset (or Anki Flashcard Generator preset) to capture the core thesis.

### Can Vezz me see which subreddits I visit?

No. Vezz me does not request the history, tabs, or all_urls permissions. It only sees the specific text you highlight when you press your shortcut.
