This is a good improvement to the Hacker News site. My only bug I've notice is when HackerNews has the "Applications are open for YC Summer 2022", the banner at the bottom blocks off the "More" button and it prevents users from going to the following page. | |

Commenting with this extension is currently broken-- I had to disable it for now. It'd be great to get a fix! | |

It hides the search box. | |

HackerNews is much better with this extension. Thanks for recently adding support for HN's native thread collapsing. | |

With the recent Hacker News changes that allow collapsing threads (and remembering collapsed threads through reloads for a period) I decided to try Hacker News without this extension again for a while. I just decided that's not going to work for me. After a few years of use, I really like the look and feel of this extension, and the popup info, and I can't go without them any more. My only complaints are: * Sometimes getting the footer with search to pop up is problematic, even when I'm hovering the cursor at the bottom. A more definitive way to raise that footer would be welcome. * Since HN has its own thread collapse now, it makes sense to remove the version here so it's not confusing. | |

Since recent updates, hovering over a username crashes the browser every single time. | |

Everything is nice, except that with infinite scrolling, it's impossible to scroll to the bottom, where the search box is still presumably waiting. For that reason, I've stopped using it. | |

Some features, like pop-up karma boxes and social sharing, are annoying. Otherwise, it's pretty good. Note: Infinite scroll strangely requires being logged into the ycombinator website. | |
