I would use it if you didn't change the css, and didn't make share the rightmost link. Also, that "block this guy" popup is really pervasive when you're just roaming around with the mouse. Other than that, really nice work!

Hey, thanks for the feedback!

I wonder why the filter popup is showing a lot for you, it should only appear if you hover over the 'x' symbol on the far right - this should be out of the way for most browsing.

Same suggestion. I like the overall improvements but please don't force the styling. Make it as an option that users can check to disable default styling of HN.

I've been working on and off on this for a little while, the extension focusses on improved usability rather than design. I can almost guarantee that after a day you won't want to go back to regular Hacker News. Give it a try, features include: - Improved readability - Quick inline replies from comments page - Quick profiles with social network info when hovering over usernames - Filtering of stories based on terms a…

I've been playing with something like this too. What I really want brought over from the Reddit Enhancement Suite is the ability to hide posts and to see updated comment counts.

Maybe its just me, I'm always moving the mouse around and selecting stuff while I read. Just so that this post isn't useless, the reason I complained about the css is that I think the light orange bg with black fg is easier on the eyes. I liked that you increased the titles' sizes but the rest of the links are still very small! I browse hn with 150% zoom full-time so having good sized titles and small sized other links or just really oversized everything is kinda crappy!
