The latest Firefox mobile update added a dropdown to the address bar for switching search engines and searching through history/bookmarks/tabs easily.

The article explains three ways to get new comments in a thread. One way is to go to Algolia (Search provider for HN) and type in the thread id in a specific format. This bookmarklet will open that page directly with all the options pre-selected instead of having to open a new tab, copy and type in the id in the search box, etc.

Here's a bookmarklet to take you directly to the algolia page from a thread:

  javascript: (() => {
    const id = window.location.href.match(/\d+$/g)[0];
    window.open(`https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=story:${id}&sort=byDate&type=comment`)
  })();

One Vimium feature that I use a lot is the "Vomnibar". As a heavy bookmarks user, it lets me easily search for any existing duplicates before bookmarking a page by just pressing 'b'. If I start the search with "/<Space>", it will show the full path to the bookmark folder too!
