Disable "hidden conversations" in GitHub pull requests?

When I go to a page of an open PR in GitHub, e.g. https://github.com/xyz/abc/pull/123, when the number of conversations exceeds some limit, GitHub automatically collapses some of them in the middle under a box that says "[n] hidden conversations"; you have to click "Load more" in order to see them.

Since the open conversations are the most important thing on a PR and the reason I open or refresh the page in the first place, is there a way to undo this and always show all the conversations? I haven't seen anything relevant in settings; does a browser extension exist to do this?

This isn't a solution, but it might be a workaround:

  1. In a GitHub PR, change the tab from "Conversation" to "Files changed".
  2. Open the dropdown called "Conversations" which lists all of them. Unresolved conversations are listed first.

User ldog explains some limitations with this in the comments below:

Unfortunately this only works if the comments are in sync with the latest commit or the commits that you are currently looking at, if you wanted to see all comments across all commits, this doesn't work. For example, when clicking on a comment that no longer exists due to code changes in a commit this does nothing.

I would prefer to find the same solution the OP is seeking, but I wanted to share this for anyone else landing here with the same issue in case someone finds it helpful.

Also, I'm cross-posting this information in a related webapps.stackexchange question.
