Available for Firefox and Chrome:

Hacker News Userscript - a Browser Extension to Play Hide and Seek!

The Usescript is written in Rust with Web Assembly compile target.

The extension provides features, which allow users to filter submissions based on a text or a regular expression:

Filter submissions by text in title or link
Filter comments by text
Hide submissions and comments from a specific user
Get visual feedback on how many items were hidden by a particular filter
Toggle hide of all the children for a hidden parent comment
Show [hidden] placeholder in place of hidden items
Hide an individual submission, without auto-loading the next one. You can hide everything on the page, and it will stay blank!

Uses Rust's Regex to enable expression matching. Regardless of regex usage, matches by text as a substring in an item.

All the filtering data and settings are stored in the localstorage.

See the videos below for the features showcase.
