Reddit All Comments Viewer (Chrome Web Store)

[!info]- This only works with https://old.reddit.com as that's the only UI I use, even today!

Chrome Web Store Link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/reddit-all-comments-viewe/djifpbcmaphjihhelcdeannijfelfnbh

This extention started with a need where I wanted to search for a comment on a very popular Reddit post, but I had only seen that comment a few hours ago that day. To optimize server workloads, Reddit only loads popular comments "on-load" of a post, and rest of the lesser popular ones are hidden behind load more comments link. That means, I've no way to search for that comment via CMD+F shortcut in browser.

To solve this, I created this extension which can expand all those hidden comments, so I can search for my comment via text easily.
