Features:
old.reddit.com: Tell at a glance if a fic was unseen, skipped or seen by @Min_'s AO3: Kudosed and seen history or my KHX script.
• Also indicate ⧉ Series links (not seen-able) to prevent confusion.
• Live highlights update on back-forward navigation and focus after state changes.
• Low overhead, exits if there are no links on the page.
archiveofourown.org: Notification and Backup download if 30+ works suddenly disappear (your cookies probably got deleted!).

AO3 note: For efficiency, the check happens only AFTER a seen/skipped data update. If you are already aware that your cookies got deleted, manually mark something seen to trigger the download popup!

Reddit note: Author links and direct chapter links cannot be highlighted.


This feature was added to match my other script AH/DLP/QQ/SB/SV/FFN/HPF/PC/OR Highlight visited fanfics's reddit highlighting capability, but for AO3 and @Min_'s data storage.

I was going to add the feature to KHX for "AO3: Kudosed and seen history", but I wanted to try making a more lightweight script that could run on every subreddit, so I ended up making it compatible with both scripts.

Seen/skipped updates are passively intercepted on AO3 and copied to private GM storage to share across Reddit (this reuses my HVF's cache-safe storage --no corruption-- designed for real-time updates, with back-forward navigation and alt-tab.)

It is designed to quickly abort itself if no links are found on the page making it very efficient.
Still, if you'd like to restrict it to a few subreddits, edit the commented @include atop the code (you may want to disable updates to preserve that edit.)
Note: New Reddit cannot be supported due to links loading dynamically.

Backup feature: Since the script has a private copy of your seen/skipped data, it can detect loss from cleared cookies. The loss detection threshold is 30 entries disappearing at once; if you have more than that, your data will be protected. The message is:
(OUTDATED Screenshot: It now shows Clipboard + auto TXT download when you close it).
