- (2025-07-02) Yerzhan: Great extension that makes HN more readable and more UXy. Style and format work only for the first page. When I hit "More" button at the bottom of the list it loads 2nd page of HN but without Modern styling, is it intentional?
- (2025-06-24) Luke Shimkus: Verycool.
- (2025-05-24) Gavin Ray: Such a huge upgrade and easier on my vision-impaired eyes. Bought the pro version to show my support!
- (2025-05-22) Zane Hanson: Fantastic extension, really modernizes the interface of HN and makes it a bit easier to parse and use. Lots of helpful extra features as well. Huge kudos to the creator for offering their work on this for free! Even the upgraded "pro" version has a very reasonable onetime fee of $10, which is very refreshing in these times of everything requiring ongoing subscriptions. Can't recommend this extension enough, you can stop reading reviews and just go ahead and install it!
- (2025-01-31) Jeff Valcher: I only downloaded this extension so that I could have comments that actually collapse when I tell them to. However, this also has several other useful features, not to mention a great look.
- (2024-05-29) Kaishu Sahu: Awesome !!!
- (2024-04-04) Giovanni Tirloni: It's a great extension, much welcome. What would make it trully awesome would be filtering stories.

- (2023-06-30) Kris S.: Very nice looking, and good amount of customization available. I would love to see more features added, like vertical lines that link parent and child comments, and button that opens the link and comments at the same time (like Reddit Enhancement Suite l+c button)

- (2023-04-10) R: Works well on the front page of HN, but often when I browse to the second page it will just render the native HN page inside of a frame, which defeats the purpose of using this extension. Reloading the page doesn't fix it. So for me, this extension is only useful for browsing the front page of HN.

- (2023-01-09) Byte XD: I loved this extension since the first minute of using it. I had been using dark mode up until today, and somehow ended up trying multiple extensions because I wanted an easier way to read direct comments, one after another. Although this extension doesn't offer that, it has other features that I didn't know I needed. I never realized that it's somewhat painful to read HN discussions - I kept reading them because the content is amazing. However since using this extension I'm reminded how important it is to have a simple and clean UI. Features I love: - Adjustable theme, from light to dark, with 5 preset themes - Adjustable font size, line spacing, and content area width (I didn't anticipate how much more readable HN becomes thanks to these, and how much more enjoyable the experience is now) - Very clean and intuitive interface - Bookmark submissions and comments - Option to switch back to classic view
