What to Do with Berkeley's Famous No-Clothing-Allowed Hot Tub
Another article from the Wall Street Journal. How to get rid of the paywall? This extension works (there is a Chrome version too):
https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea...
In the case of WSJ, these two little things will bypass the paywall:
1) use "https://www.drudgereport.com/" as the Referer for "www.wsj.com"
2) block the cookies
I'm using a proxy server that allows me to do this so I don't need the extension.

Show HN: Ladder, open source alternative to 12ft.io and 1ft.io
This extension is asking for a lot of permissions it shouldn't ask for
If you want an alternative that only requests permissions for sites with paywalls, this one is better: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea...

German court declares Do Not Track to be legally binding
Firefox with strict Enhanced Tracking Protection.
uBlock Origin with all available filter lists enabled (except the one for Mobile pages, if you're on dekstop).
https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies to reject all tracking consent requests.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... for subdomains you want to log into but still want to access the main and other domains without being connected. For instance, I have it set always open mail.google.com in the Work container so that I can log into Gmail but still search google.com, navigate google.com/maps (etc) outside the work account.
Then, install https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete and set it to delete all data from all domains expect the ones you want to stay logged into (Google for instance… but only inside the Work container mentioned above). Then, all websites data (including cookies) will be auto-deleted a few seconds after your close all tabs from that domain. You have to enable the auto-cleaning and support for containers.
You can tweak a few more things but that should be enough.
I also recommend the awesome https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clea... add-on but only for users who support some media financially. It's fine to workaround paywalls (such a bad system) but good journalists still needs to be paid somehow.

Ask HN: Are there any alternative front ends for HN?
You can checkout this repo and see if something is more appealing to you: https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news
I personally just use Stylus and have a custom css for making things a but more readable and user friendly.
There's also this extension that just refines a couple things: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news

Show HN: Hacker News User Information on Hover
Speaking of checking people's profiles, on mouseover with Refined Hacker News [1] installed, I see you don't have a bio set up.
[1]: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
I also have HackerSmacker [2] and Momento for Hacker News [3] user tagging. I've only really used Hacker Smacker to make a note to self about propensity for great contributions, and probably installed Momento with expanding that intent in mind.

Why is text of sumissions in low-contrast grey on HN?
It seems that HN has a lot of anti-user features for the sake of it. Perhaps the rationale for graying out self posts is to make them not stand out (so that the post from OP doesn't get any undue advantage over the comments), but it's just an accessibility nightmare. It's as if people with poor eyesight were not welcome here.
I use Refined Hacker News https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news which alleviates some pain points, but unfortunately it doesn't fix this issue.

Ask HN: What userscripts/styles do you use for HN?
I find https://hw.leftium.com/ much more readable, but it's read-only (can't vote/comment/submit). And due to caching some recent comments are missing.
So for those rare occasions I use news.ycombinator.com. https://hw.leftium.com/ has links to the original HN page. Plus I have a bookmarklet that toggles between the two.
Refined Hacker News[1] makes the original HN site a little nicer to use.

Server-Side Rendering Is a Thiel Truth (2020)
Not that this should be the answer, but there are a lot of HN browser plugins. Most have at least some level of theming and inline commenting. I'm currently a fan of Refined Hacker News (no affiliation) - https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news - but I'm sure there are others just as good out there.

API Update: Continued access to our API for moderators
Hacker news on y Combinator seems like an OK option, at least for those who are tech focused and prefer the old interface. There's the Refined Hacker News which, while not as good as Reddit Enhancement Suite, does make it a lot more bearable. But I don't think Hacker news will really appeal to the masses. There's no communities or subbreddits or any other grouping of users/posts.

Show HN: Hacker News user experience enhancement browser extension
Great extension. I use it heavily. The problem is that the developer seems to have given up on it.
You'll need this PR to use it without errors: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news/pull/125

Ask HN: How do you get notified of reply comments on HN?
I just go to my profile -> comments page and take a few seconds to check my most recent comments.
I have this extension that highlights any new comments, which makes it a lot easier. https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news

Show HN: Bookmarklet to Highlight OP's Username
Note the Refined Hacker News browser extension does this automatically, and more: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
This bookmarklet might be a nice option on mobile. I prefer to view via my own HckrNews web app, which also highlights the OP: https://hw.leftium.com/#/item/35076225
