This is a browser extension that aims to improve upon the already great experience on Archive of Our Own by adding various additional features and niceties.
It is designed to be lightweight (no libraries!) and follow AO3's frontend design language.
This extension is now available from the Chrome Web Store and the Firefox Add-on Store.
This Chrome version of this extension also works in Edge providing that you enable "Allow extensions from other stores."
There are various features to enhance the commenting experience!
This feature autosaves comments to your browser's storage as you type to save you time and potential headaches from browser crashes or accidentally closing tabs.
This feature moves the comment box into a floating, resizable window that follows you as you scroll. This makes it easy to comment as you go on long works!
This feature must be enabled in the extension's settings before it can be used.
This feature allows you to easily insert the text you have selected into the comment box. You can also choose the default formatting of the inserted text (bold, italics or none).
Hidden Authors & Works
This feature allows you to hide works based on their author, fandoms, number of fandoms (crossovers), archive warnings, relationships, characters and additional tags.
This feature allows you to easily save and reload search setting presets. If you ever have a really fine tuned search to find works you're looking for and want to save it, this is the feature for you!
It can be used via the panel added to the top of the Work Search page.
This feature collapses excessive tags into a button by default. This allows you to browse without worrying about your screen being cluttered by works with many tags.
You can also customise the threshold allowed before tags are collapsed.
This feature adds an "Average words per chapter" stat to multi-chapter works so you can easily get an idea of how long it might take to read through each chapter of a longer work.
This feature adds an "Estimated reading time" stat to works so you can get a more specific idea of how long it may take to read a work.
You can customise the words-per-minute used to calculate this statistic in the extension's settings to your own personal reading speed.
Here are some screenshots of the features in action:

This update was released on June 7th, 2021.
- Added support for importing .json files as well as .ao3es files to the Import All Data feature.
- This is because Chrome sucks and does not respect the extensions .ao3es extension when exporting.
- Added a new Blockquote formatting option for the "Inserted text formatting" setting.
- Made hidden crossovers show the amount of fandoms they have in the reason text.
- Removed additional work stats from draft pages as the word count is not available to work them out.

- Overhauled the text of the settings window to feel more like AO3's preferences.
- This means its a bit wordier but also more clear about the functionality at first glance.

- These should now work properly and are considered Additional Tags for blocking purposes.

- Note that comments saved in older versions will have an internal name displayed on this window.
- This is because older versions did not save title or URL information with comments.

- You can also switch back to it without going into the extension's settings via a new link below the comment box.
- Fixed a bug where the estimated reading time work stat would read "hours" even when it was only 1 hour.
- Fixed a bug where saved comments would not be deleted after posting them.
- Fixed a bug where the moderated comments message stretched the floating comment box window.

- Updated the icon slightly and added a higher resolution version.
- Added settings to customise your experience.
- These can be accessed from your browser's extensions panel or via the new AES browser action button.

- This makes browsing through works with lots and lots of tags much more manageable.

- You can also hide tags altogether by setting the threshold to 0, putting them behind a "Show X tags" button instead.
- Added a new Estimated reading time stat for works.
