There is a compatibility issue with the "Modern for Hacker News. A redesigned web interface for Hacker News." browser extension (I use Firefox). If it is active, I do not see the block with related news.
Can this be fixed?

sounds like fun. Perhaps a little too much fun. This sort of algorithmic thing keeps people on social media all day. So be aware folks this can only lose you time working. (no shade to you, OP. Seems like a cool idea, great that it exists. Just that if there were the option to turn this off on most social media I would probably take it)
Big plus for supporting Firefox! There is a compatibility issue with the "Modern for Hacker News. A redesigned web interface for Hacker News." browser extension (I use Firefox). If it is active, I do not see the block with related news. Can this be fixed?
I need to investigate what kind of mutations the other extension is doing to HN interface and figure out a way to be compatible with it on top of the native one.
I opened a GitHub issue if you're interested in following the status there: https://github.com/imdj/HNRelevant/issues/24
UPDATE: Based on initial look it seems that the 'Modern for Hacker News' extension completely restructures the DOM and uses its own class names. If someone have suggestions to be compatible with different designs, I'm down to do it.

It is not working for me on Chrome, even though I have the "Auto Pilot" option set on. What do I need to do to get it to work?
- Visit a submission page like this Show HN.
- Check permissions for the extension. Maybe they were skipped on installation somehow.
- Are you using other extensions for HN? they might obstruct this extension from integrating with the site.

yep, as a user of Modern for HN i always wondered why they decided to implement it like this; it's not like it adds any crazy features (it's mostly aesthetic). as a result i'm unable to use other great extensions like this one along with it :(
