I wanted a better way to hide and collapse comments and threads on HN, so I created a browser extension Hackollapse. There are a few extensions like this out there already but I didn't like how they worked. With my extension you can quickly see how many children a comment has, easily show/hide them, collapse an entire thread from anywhere in the tree, and toggle whether or not HN remembers that you collapsed a thread. It's available on Chrome and Firefox: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hackollapse/cfinlodmmfffhieajhboebcfplcfkfgg https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hackollapse/cfinlo... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hackollapse/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hackollapse/
