Hacker News Reader

If I'm on the same machine - the links are gray so I just skip them.

Of course, coming home after work means I might just open same links I have opened at work.

Though, I'm not overcomplicating it all.

So you open every single link? I read the headlines, open the ones I want to read and then pressing the "mark all as read" was a total blessing because next time I open the page I only look at the "non grey" links.

I guess I could just open all the links but it doesn't seem ideal.

I was having the same problem, so I just fixed it, and sent a pull request to the original author. In the meantime, if you don't want to wait for the author, you can just use the temporary extension I published:

I didn't even notice this. It works great and makes me a very happy camper :)
