Hacker News: Mark All Read
Save time on HN by marking read the titles and comments you already scanned. And more.
A streamlined tool for Hacker News users that saves you time by quickly marking content as read. This extension is a maintained fork of the original work by Dan Mazzini (danmaz74), updated for the current HN site layout, and upgraded to Chrome's Manifest v3 – a requirement starting in 2024. All credit goes to the original author [1][2].
This extension does not collect any site or personal data, nor it does tracking in any way. No cookies are used.
