It's been round for a while :) My bookmarklet has also been included in this very nice browser extension: http://hckrnews.com/about.html http://hckrnews.com/about.html

When I try to install the chrome extension for newly added comments, chrome says "it's only available through web store"?

  But you can still drag and drop it on the Chrome extensions page or use the load button.

  In Chrome, you can follow these steps to add the extension: 1. Download the extension file from the website and save it to your computer. 2. Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar. Select Tools > Extensions. 3. Locate the extension file on your computer and drag the file onto the Extensions page. 4. Review the list of permissions in the dialog that appears. If you would like to proceed, click Install. --http://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2664769&p=crx_warning http://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/bin/answer.py?hl=e...

  Huh, I never even realized that Chrome had removed the ability to install extensions from third party websites. I'll get that up on the chrome web store when I get some time.

  fwiw, I published the extension on the chrome web store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mnlaodleonmmfkdhfofamacceeikgecp https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mnlaodleonmmfkdhfo...

This new one is better. I used yours for a while some time ago and it's extremely annoying that the collapsed comment is not aligned to the rest of the comments at the same depth. Gives you a weird feeling that you collapsed the parent and the next one is its child. When you randomly collapse comments the result may be a mess where you're not exactly sure who answered to who. Also, your collapse/uncollapse button is placed on the right instead of left so its X position may vary, making it a bit more difficult to collapse comments in a series. Good effort though.

  Well, a bug report would have been nice then :) Of course this one could have some advantages, I was just pointing out my bookmarklet that also provides that "collapse whole thread" feature. That Chrome extension also has a neat "new postings" feature.

    The "collapse whole thread" feature is very cool (and useful). I don't use Chrome.
