User reviews

Users appreciate 'Hide Comments Everywhere' for effectively hiding toxic comments, especially on YouTube and Twitter, and praise the responsive developer support and customizable features. It significantly improves users' online experience and mental health by reducing exposure to negativity. However, limitations include inconsistent functionality on some websites, issues with whitelisting, lack of mobile and Safari versions, and concerns about future compatibility. Despite some site-specific shortcomings, the extension is well-received as a practical tool to avoid harmful comment sections.

Pros

Effectively hides comments across multiple websites, including YouTube and Twitter, improving browsing experience by avoiding toxic or negative content.
Responsive developer support that quickly addresses issues and updates the extension.
The whitelist/blacklist feature provides handy customization to control where comments are hidden or shown.
Helps users maintain mental well-being by reducing exposure to negative and toxic comments.
Easy to use and a significant improvement over manual methods of hiding comments.

Cons

Does not work universally on all websites; some users reported it failing on specific sites like Wattpad and Hoyolab.
Occasionally blocks comments even when sites are whitelisted, which can cause users to miss important information, especially on educational platforms.
No mobile or Safari version available, limiting use to desktop Chrome browsers.
Some users find it does not work for their needs, particularly on some social networks or specific sites.
Concern about future compatibility issues with upcoming Google policy changes (Manifest V3).

This is just perfect. If there would ever be a mobile version?

Works pretty well, and the whitelist/blacklist feature is very handy. When I came across a site that was not responding no matter what I did, I emailed the developer and they responded within a few hours, and had fixed it! That's some quick and responsive service.
