Inline reply popups are useful

Tried it, junked it. It breaks the linkness of the "comments" links such that I can't Ctrl-click them to open the comment thread in a new window. I guess someone might like…

Objections
Breaks middle-click and Ctrl-click on comment links
From 2 comments
This is nice, but destroys the ability to open a load of tabs at once by middle clicking the comment links. So it actually slows my usage of the site down as I can't wait for…

SUPER SLOW. Sorry, had to remove it as it made loading way too slow.

Reply box stays open with no cancel button
From 1 comment
Can you add a "cancel" button next to the "reply" button to close the box? If I decide not to comment the box just stays there and is annoying.

Does not work on https or every HN domain
From 2 comments
Doesn't seem to work if using https.
cochese on HNPity this only supports news.ycombinator.com - I use news.combinator.net (don't ask me why, its not logical), always messes up these extensions for me.

Add a demo video explaining the extension
From 1 comment
Agreed. Maybe the author can do a quick 1-minute video demo highlighting it in action. I need to be more enticed before installing anything, even a plug-in.

Questions
Does it work in browsers other than Chrome
From 2 comments
Don't Chrome plugins work with Opera with minimal modifications? I was under the impression that the APIs were standardized or largely compatible.
StavrosK on HNSlightly unrelated rant: Perhaps the title can use the disclaimer [Chrome Only]. Am I the only one that thinks Chrome took IE's place in the new "Best Works in IE" flashback from…
