Ask HN: Do you use any browser extensions to enhance HN?

Several years ago I installed an extension called HackerNew but now it appears to have been removed from the Chrome web store. It's still installed in my browser instance though. Curious if any other enhancement extensions (anything from some simple CSS tweaks to something like Reddit Enhancement Suite) exist that are worthwhile.

I use a bit of CSS to mark articles from domains that use a paywall with a red dollar sign. (Assuming you know how to add CSS to pages...)

/* paywall domains */ a[href^="https://www.economist.com/"]::after, a[href^="https://www.ft.com/"]::after, a[href^="https://www.newscientist.com/"]::after, a[href^="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/"]::after, a[href^="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/"]::after, a[href^="https://www.wsj.com/"]::after { color: rgba(128,0,0,0.75) !important; content: " $ " !important; }
