I personally use "Hacker News Collapsible Comments"[1], but it breaks whenever they add the black bar to the top of the site. [1] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collapsible-c/hockhafcdegocajmjhafgjncjpodihkd https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collap...

  Hacker News Enhancement Suite deals with that just fine in my experience.

  What is that bar at the top for anyway?

    It is added when somebody "noteworthy" has died.

  I use this one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collapse/bbkfcamiocfccgmcjngdljolljhifdph https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collap... It doesn't break with black bars.

This doesn't help on mobile, and these browser extensions are frequently broken when markup changes.
- chejazi 11y ago
  Given how infrequently HN updates their markup, I don't think such extensions will break very often.
  - yock 11y ago
    It's probably a couple times a year. Is that infrequent? That depends on how much time you have to devote to being a plugin maintainer I suppose.

  And the screen on mobile is obviously smaller so collapsability is even more needed.

If there was a Firefox version, it might actually be usable on Android, too.

Any Safari extensions for this? This sounds awesome!
- mgrayson 11y ago
  I use the Safari extension from http://hckrnews.com/about.html#extensions http://hckrnews.com/about.html#extensions. Works great.

    Thank you! I've just installed it and it seems to be working pretty well so far.
