Extension summary

Analyze keywords

NoComment is a simple Chrome extension for hiding user-generated comments on the web.

On a fresh installation, NoComment does not block any comments; if you'd like to block comments on specific websites/routes only, you can add those websites/routes to your "Blocklist".

If you prefer to block comments on all sites by default, you can do that, and add websites/routes to your "Allowlist" instead.

You can even use the wildcard selector "*" to block or allow comments on specific "routes" of a website.

Examples:

www.youtube.com/* x.com//status/ www.reddit.com/r/news/*

The first example blocks/allows all YouTube videos, the second blocks/allows all X statuses, and the third specifically only blocks/allows comments on all Reddit posts in the r/news subreddit.

User reviews

Finally got it to do what I want (block comments mainly on YouTube and news sites), but it took more figuring out than I expected. If you're not tech saavy and just want a comment blocker you can install and not have to think about, this is probably not for you. I initially had it on universally, and didn't even realize it was interfering with functionality on sites I use for work. On one website (a client portal where I am required to upload files, which often are accompanied by notes) it showed comments I made previously, but prevented me from editing them. I had no idea this plugin was the issue until I turned it off and was able to edit. Whitelisting every site where it could possibly be an issue is impractical if not impossible. Now I have it set to only block certain sites, which took several attempts and going over the instructions multiple times (which only appear on a pop-up screen, making them hard to read). It is now functioning how I wanted, but if I'd realized how much trouble it was going to be, I would've tried others first. On the plus side, it doesn't interfere with ad blockers. Some of the other ones I tried first seemed to have a glitch on YouTube that would allow ads to get through on top of the video playing, and above the playlist, which was super annoying. This one hasn't had any such issues so far.
