Sorry to reply twice, but my previous reply was made quickly and I incorrectly recalled the wrong context. (I also recently mentioned using an extension to view PDF's in Google's Document Viewer.)
The extension I was referring to in my grandparent comment is:
(Note that there is another, older "Re-Pagination" extension that was abandoned. IIRC, this one picked it up and updated it.)
PLEASE BE CAREFUL if you use this extension. If you do not choose a limited page count, it is easy to unduly load or overload a server. This include the HN server, and such request behavior will get you cut off or banned (rightly so; please work to preserve HN resources).
I use it, infrequently, a time or two a day to load the first few top pages of results, which I then work through at my leisure.
I also use a bookmark to transform all the link href values to open in new pages/tabs. That way, I don't lose the browser-generated multiple-page page (as it were) by forgetting to right click or shift-click to open a link that appears on it in a new tab.
At the time I adopted it, IIRC I read through the code enough to determine it was not malicious. I've been perhaps lax in not checking all of the updates.
I see its max version is listed as 3.6 . I'm actually still on 3.6; when I go to 5, I guess I'll see whether it still works with max version overridden.
