Official 4chan Chrome Extension updated (again to v2.0.1—fixes many bugs) for new HTML! Comes with a bunch of new features including post filtering and text buttons. More features to be rolled out later this week. The new extension runs orders of a magnitude faster on large threads.
Download it here!


After nearly a decade, we've rewritten our HTML/CSS from scratch and are now running on that new code. 4chan now validates HTML5/CSS3, and with a few other tweaks we've made, pages should be loading faster than ever. The design should be 100% the same too—if you notice any wonkiness, please make sure you're using a modern browser (something from the past year). Also, try clearing your cache.

Along with the new HTML comes two new big features: a mobile-optimized layout for phones so you can browse 4chan on the go, and inline extension features.

We've built what we think are the most popular extension additions directly into the site. To toggle them on and off, click "[Settings]" in the upper-right or bottom-right of the page. These features are: Quick reply, inline image expansion, post previews (for current thread only, we will make it global soon), backlinking (see who replied to a post), and enable a new drop-down style navigation. If you'd like the other features that the Chrome extension offers, grab it here.

Please report bugs to newhtml@4chan.org. Note if you are using an old browser, that is probably why you're experiencing bugs. Please include your OS and browser + version when reporting a bug.

No, he's actually right. The use of "an" is solely with words that begin with a vowel SOUND, not necessarily a vowel. When saying man consonants as a single letter (as in FAQ) you use the word "an" because the first letter begins with a vowel sound, in this case F (Eff).

if you pronounce it "fak" you'd say a.

but if you pronounce it "F-A-Q", the "Eff" sound at the start begins with a vowel sound, so you'd say an.

The grab really is the hardest part, especially considering you don't have max gear right now. I'd estimate the time to be about 4-5 seconds from when the dragon takes flight to when he makes his actual first sweep, then 2 seconds after he'll make a second one. If you do get grabbed, make an attempt to parry the ledges since it's far more reliable than trying to predict their path.

If all else fails, head back to town and upgrade your armor/weapon. I thought the stats were negligible until I made short work of the final boss by upgrading my sword once.

Die several times as an achievement is not funny

Yes it is. Stop taking achievements so seriously.

That isn't an achievement for doing badly. It's a "give me" achievement because they already know the vast majority of people playing the game are going to die repeatedly on the boss fights.

The achievement is nothing more than a reminder that the game isn't a casual shitfest that most people are used to playing.
