Reviews of modern for hacker news:
Works well on the front page of HN, but often when I browse to the second page it will just render the native HN page inside of a frame, which defeats the purpose of using this extension. Reloading the page doesn't fix it. So for me, this extension is only useful for browsing the front page of HN.
I have the paid version and the extension is broken since November 2022 and the developer does not care to fix it.
WOAH, first time reviewing an extension. This is just awesome!!
