Yes the add-on needs to query the public APIs of Reddit and Hacker News in order to check if the article has been posted already. Clicking the icon disables it though if its annoying.

Could you add a mode in which it only queries the APIs if I click the extension icon? Like that it would allow me to instantly search for comments without submitting all my browsing history to reddit/HN

That's a great idea actually, then its only working when you want it to. I'll add that as soon as I can!
