Summary

Do you ever wish you could filter Hacker News to avoid the noise?

This extension will filter stories from domains that - per november 2015 - had more than than 2500 submitted stories but less than 40% had more than 3 votes. Domains with usergenerated content (as github.com or youtube.com) are not included.

Is this censoring?

  • No, this is a way of limiting domains with a high amount of noise.

Will it hide a really interesting story?

  • Yes, but any story that is number 1 will never be filtered (so if it's really good, you will still see it)

How can I see if anything is being filtered? The sequence of numbers at the left side will skip the order of natural numbers.

I really want to see what is being filtered? Open the page in incognito mode to avoid filtering anything.
