Blog Skipper is a Web Extension to skip longreads and comment threads. It works great for 'holy wars' and won't let your fingers get tired \o/.
It scrolls a page to the next header in case of article click or to the next comment tree (last comment if there is no next comment tree) in case of comment click. You can enable/disable it on the extension's options page.
Middle-click on a part of an article or a comment thread you want to skip.
Right-click on a part of an article or a comment thread you want to skip. In the context menu click 'Skip' or 'Undo'. You can customize context menu items on the extension's options page.
There are shortcuts for BlogSkipper's actions. Defaults are 'z' for Skip and 'Z' for Undo (move to the position before Skip). You can reassign them on the extension's options page.
The shortcuts are great for Vimium (or other similar extensions) users!
Note that there could be shortcuts collision between extensions. Vimium users can resolve it using "Excluded URLs
and keys" option on the Vimium's options page (for example: Patterns: * Keys: z).
There are several settings on the extension's options page.
