User reviews

Just what i needed. Very useful.

Works for the posts that loads first. Posts loaded later as you scroll do not get a hide and mute button. Suggestions for improvement: Keyboard shortcuts and option to automatically mute as the bottom of the post scrolls off the top of the page. (Like Google Reader's read feature.)
