Ask HN: What browser extensions do you use for HN?

What extensions do you use to make your time on HN better?

I remember using one before that changed the colors, and had extra features like folding comment threads. I can't seem to find it now though.

I just installed the plugin, looks nice!

This is my favourite - adds a lot of nice stuff, and though it sometimes breaks due to site changes, it's always updated pretty quickly to fix issues. And it's open source: https://github.com/etcet/HNES

On Safari I use hckr news[0]. It highlights new comments in threads I've already visited, and allows collapsing. There is also the option use the homepage there, but I just use the normal one.

Hacker News Room http://hackernewsroom.com is a web-based HN reader, built on the official HN API. It's not a browser extension, but it has some nice features including folding comments. And it works well in all modern browsers.

Disclaimer: I built it.
