2022-02-07 | Francis So | 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. | ||

2016-07-19 | Kevan Benson | 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. | ||
