Description

Draws the rest of the friendly owl for Hacker News comment threads to make them actually followable over time, by automatically highlighting new comments and showing which items have new comments, plus various other UX tweaks.

Features:

- Show new comment counts since your last visit on item list pages
- Highlight new comments and collapse comment trees which don't contain any new comments when you revisit an item's comments
- Manual highlighting of recent comments when new comments can't automatically be highlighted
- User blocking: block a user via their profile page to hide their comments; manage blocked users on your own profile page

Other tweaks:

- Add an "upvoted" link to the header to make it easier to get back to previously visited stories, using upvote as a bookmark (default: on)
- Toggle display of "reply" links below comments to make more room for comments on the screen (default: off)
- Replaces built-in comment folding controls with a Reddit-style left-aligned control, with a slightly larger hit target for folding

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
