You can install it by grabbing the user script: https://raw.github.com/michaelschade/hnpc/master/src/hnpc.us...

Here are two pictures showing it in action:

This uses a browser's Web Storage, so all information is stored locally.

In a related vein, http://hnnotify.com provides comment reply email notifications if you want to know when someone replies to you on HN (Disclaimer: I am the author)

Nice script - very useful. I made it into an Opera extension:

Sweet! I've updated the README to note the existence of your extension.

Thanks for the contribution!

I can't seem to get the extension to work (package not valid). It looks neat, though.

Detecting and highlighting new comments was my original functionality, and I added the post list highlighting as an after-thought when I couldn't find something similar through a quick search.

Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for pointing out the problem, I'll look into this.

I wrote one of these as well as a Chrome extension a few months ago.

Additionally, it will highlight edited comments in grey or any color of your choosing (simply md5's the comment text and checks to see if it's changed next time you load the page).
