The reason I use MS Edge to read Hacker News. Wunderbar! | |

Hands down the best visual upgrade you can make to HN. It even has a dark theme! | |

Really liked it, second time that I'm using it (after a previous un-install). Biggest problem (for me, at least) is the submit to HN page...there is very little space to work with when editing the title of the submission...in that respect, HN Special is far inferior to the Post to HN bookmarklet. If you ever do manage to push an update (no pressure Dan), do let me know (with a reply/etc). Otherwise, functional extension. | |

Looks great - much better than HN enhancement suite for sure - but the upvote/downvote arrows in the comments page are not lined up correctly. | |

Excellent extension for improving the HN UI. Switching over from HN Enhancement Suite was refreshing, and it's good to know that this extension is open source. | |

Excellent plugin. Can we also have an option to change the font/background color. The orange is jarring especially early in the morning. | |

I compared a few of the HN extensions (including HN Enhancement Suite) and this one was the best, hands down. Give it two seconds and you'll obviously see what I mean. Really amazing. I barely ever give reviews, but I did it this time. |
