New here. How do you collapse comments in Hacker news threads?

2 pointsby yaskyover 9 years ago
How do you collapse comments on Hacker News? I read a comment which I want to get past, but if it has 3 pages of responses, I have to scroll through them all. I often just get to frustrated and leave the thread after reading the top 2 or 3 comments if the discussions is very active. Is there a way to collaps comments?

The site is fairly minimal, and doesn&#x27;t support comment collapsing. If you are using Chrome then you could install the Hacker News Collapsible Comments extension [1].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;hacker-news-collapsible-c&#x2F;hockhafcdegocajmjhafgjncjpodihkd?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chrome.google.com&#x2F;webstore&#x2F;detail&#x2F;hacker-news-collap...</a>
