This is a good improvement to the Hacker News site. My only bug I've notice is when HackerNews has the "Applications are open for YC Summer 2022", the banner at the bottom blocks off the "More" button and it prevents users from going to the following page. |

Commenting with this extension is currently broken-- I had to disable it for now. It'd be great to get a fix! |

It hides the search box. |

HackerNews is much better with this extension. Thanks for recently adding support for HN's native thread collapsing. |

With the recent Hacker News changes that allow collapsing threads (and remembering collapsed threads through reloads for a period) I decided to try Hacker News without this extension again for a while. I just decided that's not going to work for me. After a few years of use, I really like the look and feel of this extension, and the popup info, and I can't go without them any more. |
