What's new

Releases, improvements, and fixes for CommentGrab.

  • NewA new logo and toolbar icon.
  • NewDark mode that follows your system setting.
  • NewEach saved thread has two tabs: Comments and Insights.
  • NewBoard reports. Analyze every thread on a board as one combined report. Comments are sampled fairly across threads, so one big thread can't dominate.
  • NewBatch reports. A Combined insights tab for a batch of posts, alongside the per-post analysis.
  • NewBefore any request goes to OpenAI you see the model, the comments sent, and estimated tokens and cost. Choose Always ask, Only above $0.01 or Never ask in Settings.
  • NewToken use and approximate cost are shown after every analysis.
  • NewCancel an analysis while it runs.
  • NewWhat's new. Release notes and news inside the extension, a card with the latest update in the sidebar, and a one-time notice for important releases.
  • NewThe changelog opens in a new tab after a version update (can be turned off in Settings).
  • NewAn Analyzed filter in your saved list.

  • NewNew illustrations on the empty Overview and in the popup.
  • ImprovedThe capture widget has a close button.

  • ImprovedStyled dropdowns throughout, replacing the browser's default selects.
  • ImprovedOverview no longer repeats the same numbers twice and adds an Analyzed tile.

  • ImprovedMarkdown exports end with an “Exported with CommentGrab” line.
  • ImprovedA short request for a Chrome Web Store review after a few exports. It asks at most three times and is easy to turn off.

  • ImprovedThe current version is shown in the sidebar and in Settings.
  • FixedThe disabled “Add” button for boards no longer looks like a faded active button.

v1.1.0 Latest 2 Jul 2026
  • NewReddit batches. From any Reddit search or subreddit page, scrape the top posts in one pass, ranked by comment count and taken from the results you see.
  • NewBulk analyze & export. Tick the posts you want, then run AI analysis across all of them or export the whole set to one CSV / JSON / Markdown file.
  • ImprovedSkip already-scraped posts by default, so a batch never re-pulls threads already in your library.
  • ImprovedAI ad angles now surface as many distinct angles as the comments support. The old cap is gone.
