What does "Font smoothing" do?
It applies -webkit-font-smoothing to anti-alias the fonts.

#42Personally the only problem I have with the current UI is that I have to hit the arrow at the bottom to expand for more comments. Kills my ability to CTRL/CMD F and find keywords.
What do you mean by the arrow at the bottom? I don't recognize that.
Correction, I was referring to "X more comments..." like seen on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32755893
I just want all comments to load on page load so I can search easily.

#45It is way less efficient to consume HN with this design, so I won't use it.
There's some overhead, but not much. It basically just parses the underlying HTML as soon as it's loaded, then redraws it with added features.
Also no heavy frameworks used, just basic hand-coded JS + jquery + a few helper libraries (luxon for dates etc)

#46I'm not a huge fan of how it removes the built-in account-linked bookmarking functionality (favorites) and replaces it with a pro-only feature (locally stored bookmarks).

I think this is a relatively new feature - HN used to show all comments, but the feature very frequently caused a lot of load on the servers which would cause HN to go down.

Yes, just click the "aA" icon to open the settings, and use the bottom slider to adjust the content width.
I really hate how there's no alt tags or anything like that to actually tell you what any of the sliders mean.
Good point, I'll add tooltips to the next version.
