Install these scripts by firstly installing the ViolentMonkey or TamperMonkey browser plugin. Visit GreasyFork and press “install” on the desired plugin. Then visit those HN pages as per usual to see the changes. The monkey plugin may prompt you to “enable user scripts” as seen from its icon next to the address bar for the scripts to work correctly. Follow the instructions to do that.
