Thank you for making it. Chrome now insists that you install extensions and userscripts from their "Web Store" so the extension doesn't work.

The bookmarklet works great but can't retain state over page refreshes. This could be super useful otherwise.

One workaround that I've found around the new restriction is opening the "extensions" page in Chrome and simply dragging the downloaded crx file onto it. This should prompt an installation dialog.

That's what it tells you if you click the "Learn more" link:)

That did the trick, good tip. Between this extension and the hckr news highlight new comments extension one can finally be productive reading hn.

I didn't know about the Web Store requirement. I am on Firefox and I have some prehistoric version of Chrome that I use for testing Chrome stuff.

If anyone is willing to repackage the extension and submit to the Chrome Store, it'd be much appreciated.
