The bookmarklet takes me to the latest HN post I have not seen. When I click it again, it takes me to the next I have not seen. As soon as I see a post I have seen before, I know I am up to date.
I can't imagine reading HN any other way. Because otherwise, I would have to skim the whole front page to see what's new.
It also works on threads. So, when I post something on HN and want to see the latest replies, the same bookmarklet does this for me.
I have bookmarklets for every site I use frequently.
