Making a Chrome extension for YouTube is like hitting one showstopper after another. With today's total overhaul I have solved the hardest one yet - the Show more button at the buttom of the comment section. I also had a problem with the content script not loading (which I solved by making the content script match pattern less specific), and that the webRequest event listeners would get -1 for tabId (which seems to have solved itself). There's lots of logging and remnants of failed attempts left in the code now, which I'll have to prune later.
