This extension catches all links to Hacker News and redirects them to hn.premii.com for a better reading experience. Credit goes to Premii (https://github.com/premii) for hn.premii.com and Beasta (https://github.com/beasta) for writing the javascript where the magic happens. All I did was pack it up, cough up the $5 developer fee and upload it to the Chrome Web Store so I can use it without Chrome nagging me for using an unpacked extension.
Please note: The "inline article view" appears to be broken at the moment. Clicking the article link results in a "Unable to load the content" message. This issue is documented at https://github.com/premii/hn/issues/29. As far as I know there's no workaround at this time, except for just loading the actual article.

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!
