  • Also, improved showing of comment areas across multiple posts.
• 2019-06-03. Attempted minor fix of showing comment area, if hidden.
• 2019-05-31. Chrome 49 support, because it was easy.

• 2018-05-04. May the fourth be with you! Major improvements (I think):
  • Some days (like today), feed expansion was taking forever. Yesterday was fine. Perhaps Facebook has been experimenting with new style sheets. I think I've settled on something that works.
  • Avoid links that go bad moments after retrieval.
• 2018-05-03. This continues to work best on single, isolated posts. Changes:
  • Theater mode is no longer supported. There is no loss of functionality. It just means you need to isolate the post to a separate tab first.
  • Running the bookmarklet while it’s already running is just like hitting ESC (it aborts).
  • Support a new video format that came out of nowhere.
  • Explored trying to reduce need for running bookmarklet multiple times on feeds, with no success. Just keep doing it manually for now.

• 2017-12-25. Avoid untranslating translated text #2.
• 2017-10-20. Check for height changes not just increases. This reduces timeouts and accidentally works around the 3-month-old closed-group search-results-expansion Facebook bug.
• 2017-08-04. Default to skip 'Continue Reading' links. Can still change this in 'todo' config.
• 2017-08-04. Decouple 'Continue Reading' and 'See More' (on base post); make first config bit apply only to 'Continue Reading'.
