Thanks for the input. Agreed that these are small UI changes and building browser add-ons could do the trick. The removal of comment-karma is probably a bigger deal; this was my personal take on things I haven't necessarily heard talked about as much. In my view, it's the small UI things HN and other sites get right that often make the difference though, and a bunch of browser add-ons just seems like a fragmented approach to changes that may benefit a lot of people on HN who may never discover or use the add-ons.
