GitHub Thread Expander is a browser extension that opens hidden comments, replies, and timeline threads on supported GitHub pages.
Information processed by the extension
To work on the page you choose, the extension processes the following information locally on your device:
- The URL of the active GitHub page
- Visible page elements and button labels needed to find hidden threads
- Whether a GitHub comment or review editor contains unsaved text
- Temporary progress and status information
The extension checks only whether a draft contains text. It does not save or retain the contents of comments or review drafts.
How this information is used
The extension uses this information only to:
- Check whether the current GitHub page is supported
- Find and activate visible “Load more” controls
- Avoid running while an unsaved comment or review is open
- Show expansion progress in the extension popup
- Remember the current status during the browser session
Temporary storage
The active page URL and expansion status may be stored temporarily using Chrome’s session storage. This information remains on your device and is kept only for the current browser session.

GitHub Thread Expander does not send this information to the developer or to any server operated by the developer.
The extension does not sell, share, or transfer user data to third parties.
Analytics and advertising
