This is very similar to hypothes.is, apart from the hashing: https://web.hypothes.is/
This actually looks a lot cooler than the OP. :) Edit: oh wait...chrome only
Not to detract from the OP.
(Edit: It's an open standard. There are plugins for different browsers, a web interface and API)

I wrote a chrome extension that went the opposite direction: hit the extension button and you would get a list of hacker news and reddit submissions for that URL. Was super useful for finding some cool comments on a page I’ve since moved to Firefox and gave up on the extension, but it might be an easy port...
you just described exactly what I've done a year ago [1] I always promised myself to rewrite it for Firefox but was too lazy. [1] https://github.com/syxanash/commentdat
They are mostly the same, and Firefox has a compatibility library that stubs most of the incompatibilities.

That exactly what it means
No it's not. I am in no way required to provide you a platform to talk through or to allow you to continue using a platform you've been using. All it means is that the government, key word, is not allowed to stop you from using a platform you are allowed by it's owners to use.
The confusion (ours, not yours specifically) might arise because some talk about free speech the principle and others talk about free speech the legal norm. (The latter is prominently codified in the US constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights).
It's not the same and the principle isn't exclusively about government.
Free speech is also a very old ideal and exists in places where the US constitution doesn't apply and places where human rights aren't implemented through local policies. It can be violated in places where there is no government at all.
There's this great Wikipedia article on the topic which introduces first the idea, then different implementations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech
* Viability/resilience of the server which keeps comments.
* Under which jurisdiction it is hosted?
* If it depends on a domain name who owns it?
* Can a commenter be traced, and by whom?
* Can anybody (including original author) edit comments?
This sounds similar to the (in)famous Dissenter comment functionality. What are the differences?
Dissenter is pretty great for commenting on things that have heavy-handed censorship, like political YouTube videos. They recently created their own browser (a fork of Brave with all of the BAT sh*tcoin stuff removed) when Google and Firefox both censored their extension and it seems like it's lighter and faster than Chrome, at least in my testing.

A probably better community.
In an age where everything other than hard left speech is quickly labeled 'hate speech', I think that any censorship-free areas will quickly be judged as having a 'bad community'. Have you ever actually tried Dissenter or Gab, or are you basing the 'bad community' off of what you've heard elsewhere?
And I seriously wish I made this all up. This place is a violent cesspool.
The only way this can be useful is if everybody has it. Not having it available on Chrome is not a great start.
I fail to see any merit in the claim that mainstream adoption is necessary for a tool like this to have any value. You're not going to be using this tool for synchronous conversations between commenters, or even conversations at all. Any information you leave in the form of a comment is going to matter to the people who visit the site after you. You're also commenting about the website's content in question, not havi…
So that's why it's strange that such an extension, which I think does have a social aspect, would ignore 60% of browsers.

"censored" Relax. That's not what the word means.
