03/13/2013 - Updated to work with https://news.ycombinator.com

08/30/2012 - I have update the extension with a fix which allows the comments page to be loaded into the side by side view again. I will get the extension source code up on Github soon. Enjoy - Tim

08/07/2012 - HN has added \"X-FRAME-OPTIONS: Deny\" headers to their pages. This prevents the comments pages from loading into the side by side view. I will work on a fix for this over the following week. I will also get the project up on github.com. Cheers - Tim

Jared M (ID: 00000071f5b687f6) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/03/2011 Works ok but sites with frame busters break it and it seems when there is a post, such as a job, that doesn't have a comments page every post afterwards have their comments offset.
