## Description

Disqus Auto Expander is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your Disqus discussion experience by automatically expanding all collapsed comments, replies, and embedded media items. It counters Disqus's feature of collapsing replies after six or more responses, saving you from manual clicks and ensuring you never miss any part of the conversation.

Additionally, this extension stops autoplay of audio and video media—except GIFs—and safely opens embedded URLs in new browser windows, enhancing your browsing control and preventing unwanted disruptions. Easy to use with no configuration required but customizable if desired, Disqus Auto Expander improves both the speed and fluidity of your interactions on Disqus threads without slowing down your browser.
