## Description

Hide Reddit comments to keep your feed calmer. This add-on removes comment threads on post pages and (optionally) hides the “comments” button/counter on home & subreddit feeds. Works on new Reddit and old.reddit. Instant toolbar toggle. No data collection.

Features:
• Hide full comment threads on post pages (new Reddit + old.reddit).
• Optional “Hide comment buttons on feeds” to remove the comments link/counter on listing pages.
• Instant toggle via the toolbar popup—changes apply to open Reddit tabs immediately.
• Lightweight: pure CSS injection, no background tracking or network requests.
• Privacy-friendly: no analytics, telemetry, or data collection.

How it works:
The add-on injects minimal CSS to hide comment containers and, when enabled, feed comment buttons/counters. You can toggle two settings in the popup: “Enable blocker” and “Also hide comment buttons on feeds.”

Permissions used:
• storage — remembers your two toggle settings.
• tabs — updates the state instantly across open Reddit tabs.
• host permissions — limited to <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/42268797a19a16a2ebeeda77cca1eda5a48db14e0cff56de4fab35eaef484216/http%3A//reddit.com" rel="nofollow">reddit.com</a> and <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/d613ac6f1e810cb84d22fb73d71bcee20261111b03bca28c0892071be47c0f2f/http%3A//old.reddit.com" rel="nofollow">old.reddit.com</a>.

Notes:
• Designed to reduce distractions and spoilers while keeping posts, titles, and media visible.
• If Reddit updates its UI, the blocker will continue to work since it targets stable containers and roles.
• Compatible with Firefox desktop.
