Outside of the context of OP’s work, I have been mentally conditioned to consider anything “Modern” to be absolutely shit.

Nothing is more repulsive than a tag line on a product that says “New and improved modern look!”

This is such an overly negative reaction it is frankly mind boggling.

The UI is optional. It is literally an extension you can install separately. Nobody is taking anything from you.

There is a place to criticise bloated and Ad-ridden web pages. This extension is not it.

Firefox ask for permission for "Access your data for extensionpay.com" ?????? What for ????????? Seriously : I can't understand... and I surely WONT install this because I cant ANY REASON. Really disapointed :-(

The extension uses ExtensionPay [1] to accept payments via Stripe for the Pro upgrade. It's open source and created by HN user Glench [2].

It is way less efficient to consume HN with this design, so I won't use it.

I'd day there is a balance between form and function when it comes to websites, and I'd rather stare at a nice looking slightly less efficient webpage rather than an ugly but more efficient one.

It looks great, is there a way to reduce the margins on the left and the right? Right now the padding is taking up about 40% of the usable space. Where on the normal HN the padding is about 15%

Yes, just click the "aA" icon to open the settings, and use the bottom slider to adjust the content width.

I really hate how there's no alt tags or anything like that to actually tell you what any of the sliders mean.
