Overview
Easily find Hacker News threads about the page you're currently browsing.
Dead-simple yet very useful extension that looks for threads on on popular social news aggregator Hacker News via HN Search API (powered by Algolia). For your privacy, this web extension fetches the API only when the popup is clicked and does not run any background script. It also requires minimum permissions (just "activeTab" actually). Source is on GitHub: https://github.com/pinoceniccola/what-hn-says-webext

Was using this extension for a while. Good one.

Thank you for the review! And if you see Chrome nagging about support or best practices: This extension is here to stay. I'm just delaying the Manifest V3 migration (of which Google is ruthlessly imposing on us) till the last possible moment.
