User reviews
Works well
works as advertised but loses collapse state on refresh
It works fine on the first comment page. So if you go to a hacker news article, right there it works well.
However, if you go to the bottom of those comments, and hit 'More' to see the rest of the comments, the extension no longer works on this next page.
