spammy, or outdated.
Pros
- Nice suite but doesn't work well with paginated threads
- I'm a big fan of HN's classic, no-frills, design. Did not think it could be improved but I was wrong. The UI is eye-pleasing, the additional tweaks empower the end-user.
- All of this is accomplished without any apparent loss of performance. Nice job, dev! Looking forward to updates.
- Bein sehr zufrieden.
- Tight Code.
- super
Cons
- Inability to disable certain features renders this addon unusable. Forced smooth scrolling is just bad.
- Comment pagination (?p=2) is broken in firefox only.
