About this extension
A Firefox/Chrome (Manifest V3) extension that transforms a 4chan thread into a
Reddit-style nested, collapsible comment view — replies appear indented
under the post they answer, and any subtree can be collapsed/expanded.

4chan replies can quote several posts at once, so a strict tree doesn't fit.
This extension uses full duplication: a post is shown under every in-thread
post it quotes (including OP).
  • The first copy of a post renders fully expanded.
  • Any duplicate copy renders collapsed with a duplicate ↑ badge; click the
    badge to jump to the first copy, or click the collapsed comment to expand it
    in place (children build lazily, so big threads stay responsive).
  • A post that quotes nobody (or only dead / cross-thread posts) is treated as a
    top-level reply to the thread and placed under OP.
  • Greentext, spoilers, and country flags are reused straight from 4chan's own
    rendering. The view uses a dark theme (olive page / brown cards) so greentext
    reads clearly.
  • Nesting is color-coded by depth (RES-style): each indent level's thread
    line gets its own color so a single conversation is easy to follow.
  • Poster handles — on /pol/-style boards every poster has a unique ID. If
    they kept the default "Anonymous" name, it's replaced with a stable, readable
    handle derived from that ID (e.g. WiredLoon07), colored by the ID's own
    color, so the same poster is easy to track. Posters with a real name are left
    as-is.
  • Redundant >>NNN references are pruned from both the comment text and the
    meta line's backlink list — the nesting already shows replies. Only
    same-thread quotes are removed; cross-thread quotes (>>N →) and dead
    links (deleted posts) are kept, since the tree can't represent those.
  • Inline media — click an image or .webm/.mp4 thumbnail to expand it in
    place. Both images and videos resize by dragging anywhere on them (aspect
    preserved); for videos the bottom control bar stays usable and a plain click
    toggles play/pause. A plain click on an image collapses it again (or use the
    ✕). Videos pause automatically when scrolled out of view. Image previews load
    the full image (lazily) for a crisp "at a glance" thumbnail.
  • Default video volume — webms/mp4s start at a chosen level (default 50%)
    instead of full blast. Set it from the toolbar's 🔊 slider or the popup
    (the two stay in sync), and any level you pick on a video becomes the new
    default automatically.
  • Gallery — the toolbar's 🖼 Gallery button opens a full-screen viewer
    over all media in the thread. Scroll, arrow keys, or the ‹ › buttons move one
    post at a time; a filter button cycles All media → Images only → Videos
    only
    ; the original file name is shown under the counter; Esc or a backdrop
    click closes it.
  • Custom theme colors — the popup has color pickers for the page
    Background and the Posts (comment box) color, with a Reset to the
    defaults. They're stored per-browser so your palette isn't universal.
  • Friendlier timestamps — dates are reformatted to your locale and each
    comment shows a live "X ago" on the right, refreshed every 10 seconds.
  • A faint divider separates each top-level thread (direct replies to OP).
