Show HN: I made a browser extension that fixes Hacker News' block formatting

Here is an example of the problem this extension fixes:<p><pre><code> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. </code></pre> My <i>“solution”</i> is to add asterisks around the text to make it <i>Italic</i>, like so:<p>&gt; <i>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</i><p>Here are the official formatting guidelines: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;formatdoc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;formatdoc</a>

Describing your advocacy against the official position as “fixing” is playing political games with framing and will worsen the site experience for the rest of us as users install and use it.<p>The official policy says:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;formatdoc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;formatdoc</a><p>&gt; This is intended for code.

The Stylus addon is a more generic solution, it works on phones: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;addon&#x2F;styl-us&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;addon&#x2F;styl-us&#x2F;</a><p>As a bonus, you can fix the ‘[-]’ comment collapse link by making it five times wider. And crank up the font size.<p>The primary annoyance with this approach is that you can&#x27;t look up the tag hierarchy and classes on a phone, at least I haven&#x27;t found an extension that would let me do it even on the desktop (even though I think I&#x27;ve seen some, years ago).

Am I &quot;missing&quot; something? I don&#x27;t get those scrollbar comment layout... Where is the problem being fixed?

Why isn’t HN open source? It is after all hacker, news
