Summary

Analyze keywords

Detects spam comments and automatically hides them, protecting its users from spoofers, adult content pushers, and other annoyances.

If the add-on hides a comment you want to see, simply click the "Likely spam (+)" text and it will reveal the hidden comment (with the profile picture blurred just in case). Displaying the reason the comment was marked as spam can be disabled/enabled via the "spam reason labels" in the options menu.

User reviews

this is a pretty good extension though there is the issue of creator comments getting flagged

Aero Solid Color, 2024-03-16

The only spam I see are chain threads with high thumbs ups. The phonies say some general things to , each other, then eventually get to saying a phone/telegram/email or whatever, spread across multiple posts to contact the person to donate your money to. I thought this would remove them but instead all it did was blurred almost the everyone's avatars.
