Extension summary

Note: this is a fork of the original extension by Dan Mazzini (danmaz74). The original extension seemed unmaintained, so I just forked in order to keep up with changes to HN site over the years. All the credit goes to the original author [1][2].

Code available here: https://github.com/guiambros/HNMarkAllRead

Fixed post HN changes on June 1, 2016. Tested and working as of June 2021.

Original description:

Save time on HN by marking read the titles and comments you already scanned Use this extension to mark all news items in a Hacker News listing page as read. This way, when you reload the page, you will be able to immediately spot the new items that you haven't scanned yet, because only those new items links will show a "not visited" color. You can also hide the items you marked as read.
