I made https://hn.hsblhsn.me which loads Opengraph data of the linked page as a preview of the content inside.

I was greeted by a blank page: > Loading module from “ https://hn.hsblhsn.me/assets/index.c8baae85.js” was blocked because of a disallowed MIME type (“text/plain”). > The resource from “ https://hn.hsblhsn.me/assets/index.49215043.css” was blocked due to MIME type (“text/plain”) mismatch (X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff).

Oops! This should not happen. I have a few explanations for the issue.

1. Your web browser is not supported. 2. You use some kind of strict browser feature or extension. 3. My code is crap.

I am going to solve point 3 soon.

Does DuckDuckGo ensure that the icons are 16x16, or will it serve potentially 10’s or 100’s of KB of image only for my browser to resize them?

It does not. Here's what it looks like without the images resized: https://i.imgur.com/sM2ymce.png

This came in just as I was about to submit my HackerNew extension to the store so I added it as an optional extra. Thanks @frabert!

HackerNew [1] adds a 'hideAll' button to the HN top bar and an 'Open in new tabs' control. This is a minimal, non distracting, change which optimizes my workflow of occasionally visiting HN throughout the day to gather a set of interesting stories to drill into but avoiding re-skimming the same stories on every visit.
