What is SideHN?

The web, with a side of HackerNews. Shows a sidebar with HN comments if the link was opened from HN

The extension adds a parameter to the links on a Hacker News page, so that when you click on the link, the article page will show a sidebar with the HN comments for that link.

The extension can be disabled for individual domains by clicking on its icon.
