Ask HN: What browser extensions do you use for HN?
What extensions do you use to make your time on HN better?
I remember using one before that changed the colors, and had extra features like folding comment threads. I can't seem to find it now though.

- atmosx 11y agoI just installed the plugin, looks nice!
- joshschreuder 11y agoThis is my favourite - adds a lot of nice stuff, and though it sometimes breaks due to site changes, it's always updated pretty quickly to fix issues. And it's open source: https://github.com/etcet/HNES https://github.com/etcet/HNES

- krapp 11y agoI use greasemonkey scripts: https://gist.github.com/kennethrapp/7a21c0187fedd6f47e7c https://gist.github.com/kennethrapp/7a21c0187fedd6f47e7c highlights lines beginning with ">", which helps differentiating quoted replies from comment text. And yes, the idea comes from imageboards, but a lot of people on HN use that syntax in their comments. https://gist.github.com/kennethrapp/5b5e413220afb93c9c93 https://gist.github.com/kennethrapp/5b5e413220afb93c9c93 removes fading from downvoted and dead comments and text posts.

- b0ner_t0ner 11y agoIf it's minor CSS/stylesheet fixes, suggest using Stylish instead of downloading a full plugin.
- 0942v8653 11y agoOn Safari I use hckr news[0]. It highlights new comments in threads I've already visited, and allows collapsing. There is also the option use the homepage there, but I just use the normal one. [0]: http://hckrnews.com/about.html#extensions http://hckrnews.com/about.html#extensions
- vinceyuan 11y agoHacker News Room http://hackernewsroom.com http://hackernewsroom.com is a web-based HN reader, built on the official HN API. It's not a browser extension, but it has some nice features including folding comments. And it works well in all modern browsers. Disclaimer: I built it.
