A Chrome Extension to add how long ago a Reddit post was made, the number of comments and the number of upvotes to Google search results.

Reddit seems to be updating their old posts to rank higher on search engines, so if you search by time frame on Google, it shows a date that is way more recent than when the post was created. I decided to create this extension so that I could see the correct data about Reddit posts to save me unnecessary clicks into old/empty threads.

This is awesome. I search by time frame all the time and it was infuriating when that stopped working with Reddit.

Do you have any plans on putting it up as a Firefox extension as well?
