I've been using this: http://hckrnews.com/about.html#extensions http://hckrnews.com/about.html#extensions
In addition to collapsing threads, it also tastefully identifies new comments: http://i.imgur.com/qs6FDRU.png http://i.imgur.com/qs6FDRU.png
It doesn't mess with the layout beyond that, which I like.
By the way, http://hckrnews.com/ http://hckrnews.com/ itself is wonderful. It's HN, but in chronological order. That seems like a bad thing, but in fact there are only a few dozen submissions per day, and it's easy to pick out the interesting ones.
- ProAm 12y agoDoes this have a 'Dark' mode? It looks great but I use the following Stylish script [1] for UI so its not like staring at a lightbulb all day.

- TheSpiceIsLife 12y agoHave you ever used f.lux? https://justgetflux.com/ https://justgetflux.com/ it adjusts the colour temperature of your display(s) based on the time of day. I often use my laptop in bed with the brightness turned down and colour temperature at 2700k, makes the screen look like it's backlit by candles.

- ProAm 12y agof.lux work in linux these days too.
- ProAm 12y agoYeah Flux is great, have used it for years, but dark mode it much different, basically inverts the colors 100%, HN for me has a black background, and grey text. Super easy on the eyes. I do this in all my IDEs, reddit, HN, stackoverflow, etc....
- nilkn 12y agoI've seen this linked to, but I never understood what the selling point was. It turns out I never realized that it sorted the posts in chronological order according to when they first appeared on the front page. Pretty cool! This definitely feels good for someone like me who refreshes the front page repeatedly throughout the day. I don't have to expend energy trying to figure out what's new.
- graedus 12y agoNice, I'll try that. Here's my bookmarklet for highlighting recent comments (subtly for <1h old, less subtly for <10m old): javascript:var jq=document.createElement("script");jq.src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js";document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(jq);window.setTimeout(function(){jQuery.noConflict();jQuery("span.comhead:contains('minutes ago')").parent().parent().css("background","#fdfdf0");jQuery("span.comhead:contains(' 0 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains(' 1 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains(' 2 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains(' 3 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains(' 4 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains(' 5 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains( '6 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains(' 7 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains(' 8 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains(' 9 minutes ago'), span.comhead:contains(' 10 minutes ago') ").parent().parent().css("background","#ffffe9")},500)
- nkurz 12y agoIt may not have been clear from sillysaurus3's comment, but the "hckrnews" extension defines "new" differently. It keeps a database of the last time that you've visited each page, and highlights all the comments that are new since your last visit. I use it as well, and it's great. When I access HN from a browser without it it feels practically unusable. My only issue with it is that I sometimes accidentally click on the "collapse thread" option. Ironically, considering the topic of this thread, I don't use or want that functionality, and would prefer an option to disable it. But highlighting the posts since the last visit is fabulous!
