Extension summary

Analyze keywords

If you've ever gone to a website and read its comments section, you'll have seen that it's just a vitriolic, idiotic wasteland.

Why subject yourself to that?

Shut Up hides comments by default. And, you can show comments on a page with a click of a button. It will remember where you turn on comments, and will show them the next time you visit that site.

That's it. Simple and free. Enjoy!

Within the last few months started slowing Youtube and 4chan down to a crawl. Best extension of its kind so I hope this gets fixed EDIT: Found that enabling comments seems to fix or at least help with the Youtube issue (I use Unhook anyway - btw disabling that didn't make any difference). It doesn't fix 4chan but I found that disabling 4chan X helps with but doesn't entirely restore performance on the main site, while on archival sites like arch.b4k.co enabling comments helps there (disabling Shut Up is the only way to get things completely back to normal). The best way to reproduce these issues is by opening a large video or thread and skipping around / opening a reply window and typing. Again this wasn't a problem until recently so I'm not sure what's changed to cause it and I don't really want to have to disable extensions I make good use of to restore performance that wasn't even lacking before or to get other extensions working.
