Good news everyone!
Google has updated their native comment browser feature, and it's much better.
They've implemented roughly all the features of the Comment Helper extension. So, Comment Helper can now enjoy a happy retirement.
Here's a 1.5 minute walk-through of the native Google Docs comment browser:
Thanks to everyone who shared feedback and encouragement on Comment Helper over the years.
If you found Comment Helper useful, you might like my other extensions: Inbox When Ready for Gmail, and Join Now for Google Meet.
All the best,

Comment Helper for Google Docs Beta
50 page Google Doc with hundreds of comments? I got you.
Search Google Doc comments and review them from newest to oldest. It's fast.
on the Chrome Web Store (it's in beta, ok?!)
Browse comments from most to least recent
With keyboard shortcuts, naturally. It is fast.
Search comments by name, word or date
No wonder Lennon and McCartney fell out.
Search \me to see comments you're tagged in
No matter what email address your collaborator used.
Search \s to see all suggestions
Because sometimes you just want to accept, accept, reject, accept.

What was that thing that someone said, again?
Save an hour each week, and make better contributions
If you spend 20 hours / week in Google Docs, and Comment Helper speeds you up 5%, you'll save about an hour per week.
Perhaps more importantly: the lower friction will help you make better contributions to the discussion, and stop missing valuable input from your collaborators.
Have fun!
Privacy & security
Comment Helper is suitable for use with your most sensitive documents.
The extension does not require API access to your Google Drive, and it is compatible with Google's Advanced Protection Program.
The extension runs locally on your computer when you open a Google Doc. It never sends data from your documents or comments to a remote server.
