User reviews

Doesn't work on all sites, but I've got to hand it to the developer - I submitted a couple of sites I frequent on their web page that hadn't previously had comments blocked, and within the hour SockNit was suddenly blocking comments on those sites, too. That's incredibly responsive! Bravo to the developer. Not only that, but it tastefully hides the comment sections, rather than sticking conspicuous grey blocks or something else in their place. If you're looking for a comment-blocking extension for Chrome, go no further.
