Try to not recommend Tampermonkey, it is closed source, slow, bloated and a bit sketchy, uses Google Analytics and right now the privacy policy link in their website isn't working for me (redirects to the home page). There are better, faster, less bloated and open source alternatives, like Violentmonkey which now has a reasonable privacy policy (https://violentmonkey.github.io/privacy/).

Btw thanks for the script, the alternating colours between comments and replies should be part of the standard hacker news experience, thanks for adding that.

Completely agreed on avoid Tampermonkey, but Violentmonkey fails to detect the page on one of my scripts very often. If I refresh it works. This is a match with no wildcards and just a simple path after the URL.

Perhaps a simple bug, but doesn't give me much faith in the project.

That's a shame, never happened to me, have you tried changing it to an include or adding a wildcard at the end? The project has been active for a very long time, I've been using it since it was only an Opera 12 extension, the developer seems very responsive, try reporting a bug.

[Aethylia]

I haven't tried that yet but I'll give both a try, thank you. I'm not giving up on it yet. Good to know they're responsive, I might look at fixing it myself.

That's interesting. To confirm, it doesn't appear in the 'Matched scripts' list when that occurs?

[Aethylia]

Yes that's correct, but I think it appears everytime with a refresh.
