With the recent changes to Google's applications, I thought it'd be nice to get Hacker News to fit in nicely.

Added extension code to github: https://github.com/tdupree/hacker_news_onepage 03/13/2013 - Updated to work with https://news.ycombinator.com 08/30/2012 - I have update the extension with a fix which allows the comments page to be loaded into the side by side view again. I will get the extension source code up on Github soon. Enjoy - Tim 08/07/2012 - HN has added "X-FRAME-OPTIONS: Deny" headers to their pages. This prevents the comments pages from loading into the side by side view. I will work on a fix for this over the following week. I will also get the project up on github.com. Cheers - Tim
