I have tried to tweak the layout without any browser extensions. This will work on any browser but it's a 'lite version' so you can only use these to read HN. Have a look: Non AJAX version: http://www.skillendar.com/hackernews/noajax.aspx AJAX version: http://www.skillendar.com/hackernews/
Golden rule of 40-60 chars each line.
This is my first every public release of such a thing! So please be gentle and do give any feedback that can improve the extension.
Congratulations, it's a really nice work. I'd do just two small changes: First, the comment's points are important and right now are hard to read/notice. Second, I'm not a designer, but I've always heard you shouldn't use black typo on white background as it's a little bit to hard contrast, it's better to use a (very) dark grey on the type.
Also I normally avoid looking at Comment points to avoid any bias and bring neutrality in my reaction to a comment. Again this maybe different for you guys.
Also as a golden rule the popular comments (unless threaded) are on the top so not really that important for me.
Second: In design specifically the rules are not hardwired like physics. You can break them but you must know that you are breaking a rule when you do. Normally I use #333333 in all my works but somehow missed it here. Will correct and put up an updated version tonight.

It is hard to target comment points specifically without changing the color of entire line.

This whole setup is really nice however I would like to +1 the request to see points next to the up/down mod. It would also be nice to see the font-size of the meta line be larger as its so small at the moment it's hard to read.

Good work. You might want to reduce the width since long lines are bad readability wise. Golden rule of 40-60 chars each line.
lol.. the chrome store does not support my browser "just yet"
They are, after all, just html pages and javascript with access to certain APIs that may already be available in Firefox in some form or other.
