Show HN: The Comments Owl for HN browser extension now hides obvious "AI" items

https://soitis.dev/comments-owl-for-hacker-news
1•insin•1h ago
If you want to give yourself a break from the flood of "AI" items on Hacker News until/unless you feel like reading them, the Comments Owl for Hacker News browser extension now adds a handy toggle to your right-click context menu on the main item list pages (or the extension popup, for mobile browsers) which filters out the most obvious "AI" items by title and site, using (editable) regular expressions which have been tested on the contents of these pages over the last week or so.

The extension's primary functionality is to make it easier to follow comment threads across repeat visits, and catch up with recent comments, but it also offers other UI + UX tweaks, such as muting and noting users, and tweaks to the UI on mobile.

Release notes and screenshots for new functionality:
