If you're Chrome user by any chance, you can try also my simple extension: NavigComments @ Hacker News https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aelihpmbbbpmljkdcoekppjacoaoglfc https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aelihpmbbbpmljkdco... Supports hiding comments marked as read. Works only with http:// http://, I have to add https:// https:// one day, but I always forget it... Also some other things should be improved, then I could update NavigComments @ LWN too.
