Hacker News Reader

I just tried it live, and I found that when reading a message the ads on the right are really too prominent. Is it just my impression?

That is the exact comment I gave to Google (via the feed back link) when I changed back to the "old" version.

What is an "ad"?

I meant advertising.

By the way, I found out that that effect is very marked only when zooming in the browser. At zoom=100% the ads aren't so invasive.
