One of the things I like about the existing Hacker News design is that it's simple and very easy to read. Your redesign uses smaller fonts, which, in my opinion, is definitely not an improvement.

Except for the god-awful vote buttons. They're even still image files as well.

The orange at the top seems way too bright and the fonts are a tad small in my opinion.

I switched to Hacker News Enhancement Suite https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...

Really? On my computer it's the exact opposite. The HN design looks like the font is around 8pt; the redesign looks like it's around 11pt.

HN has a really nice hacker-ish design feel to it already so it's great. Just that it is not very tablet and mobile friendly with the really small buttons.

I use this chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hackernew/lgoghlnd... It's probably not the prettiest but I like it.

What I like about this extension over the OPs proposal is that it gives emphasis to the title, not the metadata like author and comments. The font family and size choices are much better as well.

New version is hard on the eyes.

A bit too much spacing for my liking, though maybe I am just pissed that google chrome new design has everything very separated at the moment.

Personally I prefer the HackerNew Chrome extension. Really big links on the frontpage and collapsible comments: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hackernew/lgoghlnd...
