HN Styler Extension

Highlights comments on the Hacker News stories. To increase the depth visibility of comments and keep track of who or where you are reading or replying.

http://news.ycombinator.com/news

The permissions needed are to read what the url is (to show the icon on the right page) and to update the page with the javascript to add the coloring. There is nothing else happening in the extension.

All the updates so far have been fixing bugs.

Bugs fixed:
completely broken, updated js.


Note: I have no affiliation with the site or it's owners. I just wanted to be able to more easily see where I was reading/commenting.

Peter Kao (ID: 0000003f1583f2f7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/24/2014 I really like your add-on, but it could be greatly improved if the highlights automatically, instead of having me to click on the button. Great work!
