The example page seems to render HTML (and I bet JS) from comments, while hilarious does same thing happen in the extension as well?
I like the idea. Third voice was fun for a while. Are the iframes opt-in per domain? If not, how do you deal with leaking internal DNS names (referers) from within companies and government organizations? I don't see a referer policy [1] Does your addon respect CSP policies? I assume the browser would enforce this, if iframes are not permitted. [1] - https://securityheaders.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fcomntr.github.i... The…

Does this extension give any party the power to unpublish not-legally-allowed content?

I have no idea. But I would assume they would comply with the law in order to not get sued?
One person made the extension. It wouldn't take much for a company to threaten a lawsuit to take the extension out of operation.

I have this vague memory that Gab was associated with some alt-right/neo-nazi/something-or-other thing and I should stay far away. Their website refers to Blocking "Big Tech" (which smells like "Deep State" to me). Is this something I should be using/supporting? I'm not an overtly political person but I just don't want to be in bad company.
Just take a look at https://gab.com/popular and you can make your judgement in less than a minute.
For those who want raw social media, there's Gab. Personally I want to be able to talk to people who I don't agree with and have a proper discussion. From my experience, strangers on the platform are much more willing to engage in a discussion and explain their ideas - and at least then I can begin to understand these people, even if I don't agree with them.
I would generally say that Gab is not always pleasant and by using it you accept that. Not every website/service/media needs to be made for everybody.

Agreed, also while they can not be censored by the administrator of the website, they can still be censored (or moderated) by the Plugin Owner, right?
Yeah, perhaps a better solution would be for the comments to be stored in something like ipfs? Though if i understand ipfs right, it works like torrents, meaning that unpopular comments will disappear over time.

That was... ugly. And I've seen it before. It seems worse now. I stopped reading when I got to "our race replaced by violent low-iq brown" . (in case anyone wanted to dispute the existence: https://gab.com/HankRearden/posts/MHdqTE1hWDFDTTVTR3Biak1vel... ) That's enough bull for today. Fair warning to anyone else who decides to indulge curiosity.
Also, one of the comments below:

I don't find it funny or condone it, but perhaps this is some sort of sarcasm. Looking at the account of "hank", they appear to right-wing and politically engaged.

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.
Technically the thing is nothing new, the really important questions are those related to real life operation, and I don't see them answered. * Position in regard to censorship, and technical tools to do, or counter it. * 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 anybod…

The extension does two things: - It sends sha1 of the url to the data server to check the numebr of comments, but doesn't pull the comments. - It renders an to show the comments. Thus the extension has very little code and doesn't need much updates.
