Hide Comments Everywhere - Chrome Extension for Controlling Comments

'Hide Comments Everywhere' is a Chrome extension that allows users to block comments across the web, including Disqus, YouTube, news sites and forums. Users have the flexibility to define a personal whitelist (always allow comments) and blacklist (always block comments) that can be customized. The extension works by reading and altering data on the websites visited to hide comment-related elements. Feedback and contributions for site additions and improvements are welcome.

Hide comments across the web, including (but not limited to) Disqus, YouTube, news sites and forums, etc. (See the note below on Facebook.)

USAGE

This addon checks whether it should allow or block comments for a website, based on a combination of sites in a list, sites you've chosen to allow comments on, as well as a personal whitelist (always allow comments) and blacklist (always block comments) that you can define on the Options page.

Your personal lists and other settings use synchronized storage, so they should be available on any machine you've installed the extension on and have logged into the same account with.

Click on the icon in the toolbar and press the "toggle" button to toggle enabling/disabling (temporarily, if you choose) the comments on a single domain.

(Note: Some sites like Facebook and Instagram use identifiers and class names that change frequently; it's difficult to account for them, so I've stopped trying. I suggest checking out addons specifically written for those sites, like Fluff Busting Purity for Facebook or Antigram for Instagram. I'm not sure if either blocks comments, but at least you can cut out a lot of time-sucking distractions.)

It's amazing. Now I can watch videos on YT without the dreaded comments pulling me down into a hate-filled rabbit hole since willpower doesn't seem to work. Thank you for this!

its good. it does hide comments but sometimes when you whitelist it still blocks. Be aware it will block ALL comments! even ones from educational websites such as blackboard! So if you aren't careful you could miss important information.

Doesn't work. Still looking for an alternative to Shut Up! which is unequivocally the best but has lately started tanking my Youtube performance (god knows how)
