Reddit Auto Show More Com

Reddit, for some reason, hides many comments under "(+) X more replies" buttons by default. There's also an orange "View more comments" button that pops up after scrolling a while. Additionally, Reddit collapses some comment threads by default.

This extension automatically clicks those buttons, and expands those default-collapsed threads, as you scroll; removing the need to manually click all those buttons yourself.

No more clicking a bunch of buttons and wondering if you'll even stay on the same page—enjoy browsing Reddit with just a little less hassle.

Implementation note:

Buttons are clicked up to a page ahead of your current scroll position, to minimize jumpy UI as you read the current page, and avoid Reddit rate-limiting on large threads (which would happen if it tried to click all buttons at once).

---

Known limitations:

Some "(+) X more replies" buttons are actually external links that open partial comment threads. This extension won't click those. If you still see any lingering "(+) X more replies" buttons on the page, they're probably external links (unless the extension just missed some buttons due to technical limitations).

Also note that due to technical limitations (e.g. related to shadow DOM elements), this extension isn't always able to expand default-collapsed threads.
