I've been using the Chrome extension to mark all entries on the news page "as read". This means no energy is wasted looking at the entire list of entries trying to find new ones.<p>This addon has stopped working a few days ago and I can't find a replacement.<p>How do you guys read Hackernews? Am I missing something? Do you "manually" scan the list for new entries every time you visit?<p>Thanks for your time.
If I'm on the same machine - the links are gray so I just skip them.<p>Of course, coming home after work means I might just open same links I have opened at work.<p>Though, I'm not overcomplicating it all.
Do we know why the addon stopped working? It doesn't seem to be linked to a browser update.<p>On Firefox, I can middle-click on articles I don't want to read and delete all the tabs in a row. They appear in gray next time I visit HN. It works but it is cumbersome...<p>It may be possible to write a script to save the current page source code, extract all the links it contains, send a "GET" to them and hope they will appear in grey in HN, as if we actually clicked on them. I would like to be able to do it and share it.<p>(edit) just saw iisbum dit it ;)
I did <a href="http://www.appblit.com/hn" rel="nofollow">http://www.appblit.com/hn</a> but I usually read HN on my iphone using iHackerNews.com
