Pretty good extension, does exactly what it says. A little too good, some might say. Only thing: I'd love for a way to filter out certain Youtube channels instead of blocking All of Youtube's comments. Some channels I'm actually fine with seeing their comments, but then I forget that it's off and, surprise, I scroll and get triggered on a different channel. It's more of a convenience thing.

Fait le job, fait ce qu'on lui demande, dommage que cette option ne soit pas directement intégré à YouTube, marre de voir les teuteu me gâcher mes vidéos, ou musiques... car ils ne font que se plaindre tout le temps.
