Funny, since this is something that HN recommended websites begin doing after Google began pushing WEI [1]. Your frustration is intended in this case, the theory being that you'll be pestered into switching browsers. Annoying for some but you have to respect it in a way, what with how it's giving Chrome a taste of its own medicine.

- harel 3y agoWhen you said HN recommended, initially I read "YC & HN admins" recommended, but you meant "some people on HN". Look, I respect activism of this kind. But direct it where it's meaningful. It's not that I found not being able to comfortably read a lukewarm article about microwaves is the end of the world. The title on HN might as well have been about that "chrome blocker" because that was the actual story here. In the IE days people were furious when sites were only "optimised for IE".
