I really like this feature, and will probably switch to reading on greaterwrong because of it. The only implementation choice I disagree with is the confirmation notification if you want to toggle it back on.
A reason to keep the confirmation would be to create a trivial inconvenience for people who are tempted to be biased by the Who and the karma value.
A reason to remove the confirmation is when I want to verify who is replying back to whom. Not the specific person’s name, just if B comments on A’s comment, and then someone comments on B, I’d like to toggle quickly to see if that someone is A or someone else.
OK, I made a slight tweak to the anti-kibitzer to help solve this. Now the different users on a given page are distinguished from each other by arbitrary letters.
As for toggling quickly, I agree that this is important—which is why you can skip the confirmation dialog, by holding the Shift key when you click to disable the anti-kibitzer. (I am not sure if you missed this bit in my post, or, if you saw it but still think this is too inconvenient? I have made the note to that effect more prominent, in case it’s the former; if it’s the latter, my apologies.)

This fixes the issue entirely, thanks!
I am glad you like the anti-kibitzer feature!

Definitely just missed it the first time around, my apologies.
