What is Blog Comment Killfile?

"Blog Comment Killfile" is a Chrome extension designed to elevate user experience on online blogging platforms. By providing a killfile, usually used in usenet, it enables users to hide comments and commentors they wish to avoid. The implementation does not tamper with public visibility of these comments, maintaining the open conversation for others. A simple [hush] link acts as the trigger for this custom comment filtration.

Extension summary

Analyze keywords

The intention of this script is to hide the comments of commentors you, the reader, do not wish to hear from. In that respect, it's like an old usenet killfile. It does not affect what other visitors to the site will see.

This is not a tool meant for handling spam, only for an individual comment reader to avoid having to see comments they don't wish to see.

When the script works for a given blog, comments will have a [hush] link near the commentor's name. (visible only on mouseover!) Clicking on that will hide comments from that person from then on.

User reviews

These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.

Dear Killfile, Will you please update this extension or do whatever it is Chrome wants you to do, because every time I get an update for my Chromebook it removes this extension! I love this extension, I've used it maybe 15 yrs. VERY simple tool, very helpful when I'm chatting via Disqus on various blog sites that I read/chat. Sincerely, BJ😁
