Hacker News Reader

Great now a .xxx is on my work browsing history. Can we stop this please?

The writer says (in his "remote" section, which appears to mean "about" to him, for some reason): "Also, I think it's splendid that the IETF finally got around to giving pirates, coders, and hackers our own TLD—it's about time!" I'm pretty sure that he simply isn't as clever as he thinks he's being.

I understand your dilemma, but HN shows the root domain next to all links for a reason.

No it doesn't, at least not through RSS. All I see are 'Comments' and 'View Article' and the title. It doesn't display the domain anywhere.

To actually see that I have to click on the Comments first and then look at the title at the top... but I usually don't even read comments on articles so I usually don't see that.

That would be your RSS reader. Google Reader (which I guess most people use these days) is kinda bad about this, but you can still see it if you look hard — it shows up URI-encoded at the end of the link address when you mouse over. If you're using something else that really doesn't show it at all, you might want to see if there's a setting or something.
