I'd love to have this for Firefox.

Or, even better, built into the site!

You should add a link to the extension to the post.

Cool! I especially like the "collapse comment threads", that's the one thing i really miss on this site.

Author here: I published the source code, I guess that it would take little enough to adapt it... ;)

I noticed - thanks for that! Hopefully someone who knows Firefox better than I do will pick it up and run with it.

Nice plugin, but the title makes me wonder. Aren't "visiting HN" and "saving time" in contradiction?

There was a link originally but I deleted it by accident - not it's back, thank you for the warning!

Thanks! Can you make it work with news.ycombinator.org too?

Great plugin.

I primarily use http://hckrnews.com to browse HN submissions ( a lot IMO ) and its extensions for Safari: http://hckrnews.com/about.html

Both have great ideas, and I think pg should adopt one of them (though I know he won't). I hate it when I use my iPad for browsing HN. Comments are small, up/down-vote arrows are minuscule, and you can't use these highly-useful plugins. And I've tried about a dozen different clients so far. None of them offer anything like http://hckrnews.com (a chronological timeline of submissions), so I keep coming back to Safari... :(
