HN Anonymizer

Want to keep your HN profile anonymous, even with coworkers snooping over your shoulder?

HN Anonymizer is for you.

It's also available on GitHub.

HN Anonymizer lets you anonymize your:

  • Username
  • Profile URL
  • Karma
  • Comments

Username

By default, your username will be replaced with asterisks, like so:

anonymized

But asterisks will let observers know your username is being hidden, so it's better to replace your username with a fake value, this way they don't become suspicious.

A config variable is provided for you to set a custom username for this purpose.

Comments

In comments, your username will remain as-is, but the red asterisk HN applies to your comments will be removed, so they'll blend in with all of the other comments on the page.

Without anonymization:

anonymized_comment_before

With anonymization:

anonymized_comment_after
