Thredd for Firefox

The online community grows day after day, and more and more people join forums to share their thoughts on various topics or products. Thanks to the Internet and, especially, to social media, we can now get in touch with other people from around the world. We can also learn from other people's experiences and find answers to the questions we may have regarding various matters. Thredd, for its part, is a new and experimental extension that searches Reddit on your behalf to find discussions about the specific site or product page that you are visiting at that moment. Thanks to that, you can quickly get an idea about the webpage you're viewing based on the opinions of other people that shared their thoughts on the forum. For now, Thredd only works with Reddit, but that's enough since that is the most popular discussion platform, with tens of millions of active users per day.

The add-on appears to be a handy application for Firefox users. When an individual visits a site, the extension searches for the site's name on Reddit and displays the most relevant conversation threads. If Thredd doesn't find any reliable chats on a specific topic, you can be the first one to talk about that on the beforementioned forum. The extension will show you a Create Post button so that you can add reliable information on a particular site or product page that you are visiting at that moment. Also, you can join the already existing chats and leave your thoughts for others to see.

Accordingly, Thredd is a useful extension for Firefox, but that depends on every person's needs, evidently. Note that the add-on is still in its experimental phase, and it might present some bugs. During my test, the app did not lag or crash, showing acceptable stability and performance. I also hope that, in its final version, the extension will feature more social media networks besides Reddit.
