  description

  Tired of clicking dozens of tiny "+" buttons to read FT comments? This extension brings back the classic Financial Times comment experience.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  ✦ FEATURES
  
  • Expand All — Instantly expand every comment and reply with one click
  • Collapse All — Collapse replies while keeping top-level comments visible
  • Always Expand — Toggle on to auto-expand comments on every FT article you visit
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  ✦ HOW IT WORKS
  
  1. Visit any Financial Times article with comments
  2. Click the extension icon in your toolbar
  3. Choose "Expand All" or "Collapse All"
  4. Or turn on "Always Expand" to never click again
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  ✦ SMART COLLAPSE
  
  When you collapse comments, top-level posts remain fully visible — only the replies are hidden. This lets you scan the main discussion while keeping the page tidy.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  ✦ ALWAYS EXPAND MODE
  
  Miss how FT comments used to show everything by default? Turn on "Always Expand" and the extension will automatically expand all comments whenever you open an article. Your preference is saved across browsing sessions.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  ✦ PRIVACY
  
  This extension:
  • Does NOT collect any personal data
  • Does NOT track your browsing
  • Does NOT send data to external servers
  • Only stores your "Always Expand" preference locally

  Questions or issues? Leave a review and I'll do my best to help.
  
  Enjoy reading FT comments the way they should be!

  Tired of clicking dozens of tiny "+" buttons to read FT comments? This extension brings back the classic Financial Times comment experience.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  ✦ WHAT'S NEW (v2.2)
  • Expand All is now exhaustive — drains every "show more replies" / "load more" and nested replies until the whole thread is open
  • Never hangs, even on a stuck "load more"
  • Always Expand now respects comments you collapse yourself
  • Survives navigation between FT articles without a reload
  • Lighter and tidier — memory-leak fix, no duplicate buttons, silent on pages without comments
  • Accessibility and clearer error messages
