#2The discussion on r/firefox is also quite interesting:

#3The biggest irony for me is the fact the new Reddit doesn't fully work for me in Firefox (all plugins / extensions disabled) there seems to be completely missing the ability to toggle / collapse comments from Firefox. Works on Chrome. Not sure who QAd those new changes but they missed one of the features I use most on HN and Reddit...

#4Sounds like a major publisher is in big trouble when the management tells the webdevs which browsers they should support.

You can use old.reddit.com to load the old design or can also change it in your settings (if you are logged in). I have found their new design quite confusing so I reverted back to the old one for now.
Tbh I sometimes wish there was a website which uses reddit’s API to display all articles/images using HN design. No clutter, minimal JS and no random scrolling when going back/reloading.

Comment collapsing works fine for me on Firefox 59[1]

Reddit broke for me on Firefox whenever they moved to ssl permanently, hitting the back button always reloads the page rather then going back to the cached state it was in so comments show uncollapsed. HN doesn't seem to have this problem.

You're missing the [+] next to the up down arrows, try opening it in Chrome to see..

#9Display ads are dead. They have been dying for over a decade. Video ads have picked up some slack but they too are being commoditized. These days, publishers are turning to the paygate model and commerce.
Anyone who thinks that ads can pay for publishing are fooling themselves into believing they are part of the top percentile of publishers for whom this works due to sheer impression volume.

Some friends and I have http://f6oclock.com (open-office mode: http://www.f6oclock.com/#ninja) for reading r/politics (a guilty pleasure). I like minimal UIs. Showing Reddit in an HN skin is a pretty funny idea so I might give it a shot tonight.
(It's named f6oclock because there was f5oclock but they made it suck...)
