And what about an extension to hide "Show HN" posts?

It'd be pretty easy to mod this to do that. I can't tell if you're being snarky but I could actually do that if you really want me to. I could also change the alert to read "# dreams were crushed."

I think it would be better to use GreaseMonkey for this than having an extension.

I really like being able to turn it on/off just by clicking the icon. Also, Chrome. You're right, though, it'd make a good GreaseMonkey script.

Tampermonkey is great for this kind of stuff on Chrome. Provides quick toggle for userscripts too.

I sort of want to see this extension exist, just for the caption....

Out of curiosity, why do some people want to hide Medium articles?
