Show HN: Collapse Comments on Hacker News
This should be a standard feature in HN.
The other pain point is the up/down arrows being so close to each other on mobile that I have to zoom in, vote, then zoom out.
I'm pretty happy with "Hacker News Enhancement Suite", it supports this and few other nice things. [0]

Similar add-on for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hn-utility-su...
I use this one (supports Chrome and Safari):

It has collapsing, and it also highlights unread comments.
This is nice. One feature I'd like in HN is a max comment depth that is collapsed by default. Often a lot of scrolling is needed to get past a controversial thread that has a lot of replies, but doesn't discuss something relevant or informative. People end up replying to the top thread even for a different topic, because they feel that is the only way to get seen.
Re-Submitted because I uploaded it to the chrome web store, had some reports of people not being able to enable it or install it because of some recent security changes.
Just a tiny little extension that lets you collapse comments on HN. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I like HackerNew

I use this[1] bookmarklet for the same effect.
I had submitted a similar script, among others a few days ago. It is a user script and can be used on Firefox w/ Greasemonkey and Chrome w/ Tampermonkey: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PauliusLabanauskis/UserScr...
Looks quite similar in behaviour to one I've been using previously: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collap...
I've used https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collap... for a while, does this have any extra features?
I had been using hn.premii.com in order to get a better browsing experience, but it was annoying that I couldn't comment on there. I'm not sure why I hadn't thought to look for chrome extensions to enhance HN, but I'm glad that I found them!
I use this one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-collap...
Thank you! This is great and doesn't do anything I don't care about!
Is there a way to sandbox a chrome extension to a specific domain (or know that an extension is only allowed to work on a specific domain)?
Still missing: an extension that will open links in a frame, keeping comments below (or rather to the side, in the age of widescreen).
Love it. Suggestion: persist the collapse state to `localStorage`. This is enabled on Reddit through a Chrome Extension as well.
The voting buttons should probably disappear for minimized comments.
Works great, thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks for this! I was using an old extension for this that broke with the HN redesign a few months back.
Hnbuzz a hacker news iOS client already supports collapsible comment :) - |via http://bit.ly/hnbuzz01 |
No, wait! I thought only grandma uses chrome and that the HN users care about freedom and use firefox/dillo/icecat/whatever. My wrong.
