Summary

Sometimes the most interesting thoughts are not at the top. The comment shuffler randomizes the comment thread, moving sub-threads along with parents, and ultimately removes any community bias that can influence a late viewer.

Click the extension icon in the browser toolbar to shuffle comments. Click it again or reload the page for the original order.
