What Hacker News says

Web Extension: Easily find Hacker News discussions about the page you're browsing.

About

Dead-simple yet very useful web extension that looks for threads on popular social news aggregator Hacker News via HN Search API powered by Algolia. I hacked this togheter in a few hours because I was unable to find something not bloated: For your privacy and general browser performance this extension fetches the API only when the popup is clicked and does not run any background script. It also requires minimum permissions (just activeTab actually).

Install

Get the extension for Firefox or Chrome/Chromium browsers.

You can also clone this repo and manually run it as an unpacked extension (but losing automatic future updates).

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md.
