AutoPatchWork for Chrome automatically infinite-scrolls many sites (including Hacker News): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aeolcjbaammbkgaiag...


AutoPager is on both Chrome and Firefox and bloody changed my life. Parent was TL;DR: I already knew this is bloody essential, totally the only proper way to do things, and that one cannot go back after having tried.

Of course, the other major split from Atwood is that I think he's dead wrong. It's not about delivering better targetted results. That will, inevitably, fail. It's about the other part he briefly mentions- reducing irrelevant friction. The reason Google suceeded only with shorter results was because the friction of scanning through and filtering a result was so very high (taking a couple excerpts, a title, furrowing one's brow, thinking hard, and making a binary click/ don't click value-judgement guess).

I have it installed for Opera.

It's great.
