!! With the recent major API changes Reddit has introduced, the functionality of this plugin has been restricted

repostchecker

an extension for Google Chrome to check whether any Reddit (image) post can be detected as a repost with ease, uses the undocumented repostsleuth API

note:

remember repostsleuth can't always detect reposts (e.g when certain changes have been made to the image)

searching for the image on Google via uploading or searching for a transcription of the image usually yields results too

by default repostchecker uses these parameters:

these can be changed in the contentScript.js file

installation
