I'm surprised they haven't implemented many of the features that RES has. I certainly don't use RES to it's full extent, but I find several of the features crucial to my Reddit experience.

I hope hope hope they come out with a feature to hide stuff you've already clicked on. I don't get why you'd still want to see something you've already clicked on. At least offer a toggle.

I think that's too personal a preference to make the default, and people would get confused. Imagine someone wanting to show a friend a funny video he found on reddit, and now it's gone.

They have already implemented something similar with the 'hide' button, which allows you to hide a story.

In prefs, you can hide submissions you've voted on. Turn that on and then start voting.

There's a very configurable script for fading seen/hovered/clicked links and it works on multiple sites including Reddit obviously and HN as well. This is more or less right up your alley:

I assume because people will often go back and view comment sections on particular submissions multiple times.

There's an inverse feature if you have gold - it marks all the new posts since the last time you visited.
