Some existing features include:
-
Load and expand all comments, removing images.
-
Hide sidebars.

-
Toggle: whether sidebars appear (default: checked)
-
Percentage slider or text box: page width (default: 80)
-
Toggle: remove profile images from comments (default: checked)
-
Toggle: remove posted images from comments (default: clear)
