There’s always the risk of clicking on something that wasn’t intended, especially if the code I write now decides to click on something that becomes something else in the future. This is a bookmarklet and can only do what you can do, as you. If you need to 100% guarantee this bookmarklet does not click on something it shouldn’t, your only option is to avoid it altogether. To isolate a single post to a browser tab, ctrl-click on the post’s time stamp link, which is a URL. That wasn’t my original usage model and can hit Facebook limitations on how much it will retrieve (plus, it gets slower the longer it runs), but it’s still better than manually clicking. Others use this to expand multiple posts prior to archiving them. This is how I use it, and I use it only on individual posts with usually many fewer than 100 comments and replies. This expands Facebook posts so that you can see/read all comments and replies from top to bottom without clicking. To install or update the bookmarklet, click here to bring up a page with the bookmarklet in it, along with some simple instructions. This applies only to the full version of the Facebook website (e.g., and not to other web versions (e.g., m., ) or to versions of the mobile app.īookmarklets are not the prettiest or best-understood things in the world, but I’m making it available in case people want to use it. I have written a JavaScript bookmarklet that expands all comments and replies in Facebook posts.

It has stopped working due to Facebook changes that, as a human, make no sense to me and have finally caused me to ignore Facebook (going on six months now). It kinda-sorta still works (better on old / legacy threads), and I’ll leave it up indefinitely. This tool stopped working sometime early in 2023, and I will no longer be maintaining it.
