User Reviews

Shut Up blocks/hides comments on Safari across many sites, delivering a calmer, faster browsing experience and saving time. Users broadly praise its impact on mood and focus and its multi-device support. However, there are recurring caveats: inconsistent YouTube performance, incomplete site coverage, occasional bugs requiring reinstallation after updates, some OS/Safari compatibility concerns, and occasional settings discoverability issues or minor performance slowdowns.

Pros

Blocks or hides comments across most websites, reducing noise.
Saves time by preventing engagement with comments and distractions.
Improves overall browsing experience and mood by reducing toxicity and clutter.
Works across Apple devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad) with Safari and plays nicely with ad-blockers on supported sites.
Widely praised as a valuable tool and considered a gamechanger by many users.

Cons

Does not reliably block YouTube comments, especially on mobile or certain interfaces.
Some sites still show comments despite using the extension; not 100% coverage.
Bugs or maintenance issues can require reinstallation after updates and may reset settings like whitelists.
Compatibility and performance issues with certain macOS/Safari versions (e.g., Ventura) or extension scheme changes.
Settings can be hard to locate for some users, and there are reports of slower page loads on some sites.

I got the app specifically to block YouTube comments but it doesn’t work. Content blockers are on and YouTube.com isn’t on the whitelist. I’m not sure if it’s the app or YouTube developers finding ways to get around content blockers and force me to stay “engaged.”

I love this but I need this to block comments in the mobile app versions too. I upload art videos and I need the mobile app but I just need the comments to be hidden so I don’t get into useless arguments
