Newsit: Hacker News and Reddit Links

Newsit is a Chrome extension developed by Ben Winding. It falls under the category of Browsers and is classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This free extension allows users to find Reddit or Hacker News discussions related to the current webpage they are browsing.

Once installed, Newsit automatically checks if the current page is listed on Reddit or Hacker News. If there is a post on either of these sites, a button will be added to the bottom corner of the screen. Clicking on the button will provide direct access to the relevant discussion.

Recent updates to Newsit include the option to use new Reddit links, improved rendering of icons using SVG, and better padding and alignment of buttons. The extension also fixes issues with the Reddit API, iframe compatibility, and search results. It now allows users to view all results found from Hacker News and Reddit, making it more reliable and maintainable.

Newsit is a handy tool for those who want to explore discussions and insights related to the webpages they visit. It is easy to use and provides a convenient way to find relevant Reddit or Hacker News threads without leaving the browser.

Source code for Newsit is available on GitHub, and the developer provides a privacy policy and terms and conditions for users to review.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
