Jess Riedel (ID: 000000d0945d3599) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/24/2016 Works well

icon

Mohamed Mostafa (ID: 0000003f9b258e2e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/02/2015 works as advertised but loses collapse state on refresh

icon

Rob McBride (ID: 00000033ceef3b52) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/01/2014 It works fine on the first comment page. So if you go to a hacker news article, right there it works well. However, if you go to the bottom of those comments, and hit 'More' to see the rest of the comments, the extension no longer works on this next page.

Dalius Dobravolskas (ID: 0000007df46e087b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/08/2013 Exactly what I was looking for.

t c (ID: 0000001c640c14dc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/16/2012 This does work, and it's very helpful. When I first installed it, it didn't seem to do anything, and after reading Stephen's comment, I was concerned. Visit a comment page that's not in your browser cache yet, and look for the little - to the right of the link. Example: nostromo 5 days ago | link | - Click here --------------------------^ That's your collapse icon.
