Cool! It would be good if there were a way to reveal the author without upvoting. Maybe in doing so, the arrows would hide?

Main easy-way is to click the "link" link. I don't hide the author (or points) on reply-pages. edit: oops, forgot to add downvote hook. Coming! edit2: added :) You can force an extension update by going to chrome://extensions, expanding "developer mode", and clicking "update".

Agreed - I think the biggest problem I see with the user name being hidden unless you click on the link is that it makes the comments a bit harder to follow in big threads (especially where people end up being referenced by name).

  I've got to add a page-specific button, to turn it on and off. Poking at it now, as I hadn't thought of that purpose :) I think that requires "tabs" permissions though, which warns everyone it has access to "your entire browsing history". edit: yep, it will. I'll get on it, though. edit2: think I should have the switch just show names? Or the points as well? edit3: Another idea: double-click on text, and if it matches a name, it'll reveal and highlight. How's that sound?

    You could embed a link into the page and/or add a keyboard shortcut. Another idea: don't censor the author & the user's own posts.

      Your own should be left alone (are they hidden?). Author I think I'll leave for a future version, where I'll have loads of options (what to hide, when, etc), and I'll add that to the list.

    Maybe show censored names until the vote, either G*x or even User 1, User 2 etc.

      Definitely further down the line if I do, but I'll keep it in mind. What I'm doing right now is really simple - I'm just tagging the names / points with CSS classes, and then hiding. Up-voting changes the comment's class. Clicking the page-action removes / re-makes the CSS rules. Re-writing and being able to restore means storing the data somewhere, quite a bit more complex than just labeling the DOM.

Another version out. Now there's an icon in the URL box - click that to turn it on and off. The permissions change is a necessary evil, unfortunately. Though I doubt it'll need any other permissions after this, no matter what I end up adding.
