Collapse all comments on Hacker News story pages HN Collapse All Comments adds a single toolbar button that collapses every expanded comment on a Hacker News discussion page. If you've ever landed on a 500-comment thread and wanted to scan top-level replies without scrolling forever, this is for you. Click the extension icon and every comment collapses instantly — then you can expand just the branches you care about. FEATURES • One click collapses all expanded comments on the current HN thread • Works on any news.ycombinator.com/item page • No options to configure — it just works • Lightweight: a single small script, no frameworks, no dependencies • No tracking, no analytics, no data collection of any kind • No account, no sign-in, no permissions beyond the active tab HOW TO USE 1. Open any Hacker News comment thread (news.ycombinator.com/item?id=...) 2. Click the extension icon in your toolbar 3. All expanded comments collapse. Click any [+] to expand a branch you want to read. PERMISSIONS This extension uses only "activeTab" and "scripting" — it can only run on the tab you're currently looking at, and only when you click the icon. It has no background access to your browsing, no host permissions to any site, and does not read or send any data.
