Kshitij S (ID: 00000072782e0bbc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2023 Good job. One important feature I want is ability to see all comments uncollapsed. Currently, if you open any big thread, there will be dozens of comments that are hidden. You have to click the expand button next to the profile icon one by one to expand them. It is very annoying and waste of time. It would be awesome if all comments are opened by default. So that we can just scroll, and not have to click on anything... Check the comments under popular posts of r/Britain/ for example. No extension has fixed this till now, I checked all of them. If you do it, you will be the first. And I am sure there are many people who want this, so this can become a key feature. Another feature is ability to hide all "profile pics" and "login status" in the comment section. These are annoying an wastes screen real-estate, and I often accidently click profile pic instead of the "Expand" button.
