    Hello everyone! This is a browser extension that attempts to enhance Hacker News user experience, while your data is kept secure, and private (never leaves the browser). Browsers have evolved significantly since doing a v1 back in 2010, which was one of the contributing factors, for attempting a complete re-take few months ago.

    I've been working on and off on a Chrome Extension for Hacker News, the extension focusses on improved usability rather than design.
