Skip longreads and comment threads.

Features & Capabilities

Blog Skipper is a Web Extension to skip longreads and comment threads. It works great for 'holy wars' and won't let your fingers get tired \o/.

HOW TO USE IT There are several ways to skip:

  • Middle-click on a part of an article or a comment thread you want to skip (enabled by default; you can change it on the extension's options page).
  • Right-click on a part of an article or a comment thread you want to skip. In the context menu click 'Skip' (disabled by default; you can change it on the extension's options page).
  • Click on the extension's icon in the top right corner.
  • Use shortcuts ('z' for 'Skip' and 'Z' for 'Undo'; you can change it on the extension's options pag). 'Skip' action scrolls a page to the next header in case of article click or to the next comment tree (last comment if there is no next comment tree) in case of comment click. Use 'Undo' action if you want to return back to the position you skipped from (to enable it go to the extension's options page).

NOTE Non-mouse-based skipping may not work properly on pages with iframes.

SITES Blog Skipper automatically detects comments on sites, but you can define CSS-selectors for comments on the extension's options page (basic CSS knowledge is required). List of tested sites:

  • YouTube
  • Reddit
  • Hacker News
  • Disqus
  • LiveJournal
  • Pikabu
  • Habr
  • D3
  • 4PDA

Is Blog Skipper Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Blog Skipper requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Blog Skipper is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
