Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestion.

I will look into it when I could add support for it sometime in June. It should be possible to run without difficulties, as also noted by CharlesW.

Thank you.

Thank you!

> I don't see an option to toggle dark mode

You must hover over your username, or login, link, in the bottom-left corner, and a pop-up window should appear with the option to switch to dark-mode.

> can you make it so the splitter bar allows resizing from the right or left?

Thanks. Can do.

> how do we know we can trust this extension?

The extension adheres to the best practices, and like you said requests only access to HN. Manifest v3 is designed such that should an extension change its permission requirements, it must engage the user to decide, thereby being obvious.

> I see no information about a privacy policy

Sorry for that. I can post one in the next weeks.

> Why are the last reviews from 2012 to 2014?

The comments are from v1 which was released back in 2010. Although it continue to worked, v1 was practically out-dated and probably didn't encourage anyone to comment.

v2 was released in February 2023.

Thanks.

I submitted the extension to Firefox Add Ons store. Will post when it becomes available.

Thank you. I will see how I could use your insights.

Thanks I will reread your comment later. I actually agree with that.

Although not hard limit, if you open HN with the extension on, you can then adapt the window size, and the content width will be around that limit;

That's how I do it for now.

Could you please be more specific about your recommendation ? Which text groups ?

Did you get a chance to try it ? I do a lot of reading it too, and felt benefited from it.

Can I ask what specifically was hard to parse ?

I can also provide preferences for any recommendations you may have, that can benefit one. Will add the font-size change for example, as commented elsewhere.

Also, dark mode is more suitable for low light conditions, and does make reading much easier.

This extension only requests access to HN's known domains.

If one would try to request to a non white-listed domain it would trigger Access-Control-Allow-Origin error.

Also I think v3 makes it quite hard to use remote loaded code.

Any attempt to be malicious would probably be caught by store's review process eventually.

I didn't test on Ubuntu. But can do. Thanks.

The extension uses HN's default font 'Verdana', which is in sans-serif family, and that font is probably not available on your Ubuntu machine ?

You are right actually.

It's a bug, that missed my test somehow.

Will fix.

> i just dont like the idea of having custom zooms per page

I understand. It's just a workaround for now.

> have you thought of supporting the custom hn top bar color?

Thanks. I will add support for it in the next update.

Hi.

Thanks for trying it out.

I can certainly provide font-size customisation in-app, but for now one could adapt the font-size in their liking with browser's zoom capability (ctrl+ or ctrl - key combination).

Hello everyone!

This is a browser extension that attempts to enhance Hacker News user experience, while keeping your data secure, and private.

Browsers have evolved significantly since doing a v1 back in 2010, which was one of the contributing factors, for attempting a complete re-take.

Personally, I am surprised how useful it turned out to be when browsing around HN.

On the linked page you will find the links to browser web-stores, and demo video/screenshots of the features[1]

Due to adoption of Manifest V3 (by choice), you may have to grant host permissions manually, after installing the extension, and visiting Hacker News.

What do you think ?
