Shut Up: Comment Blocker by Ricky Romero

by FieryFoxtail, 2 years agoEDIT: It seems to be working now, thanks for the update! Though still, there's also the problem of the addon not working with Alternate Player for Twitch.tv (chat is hidden and Shut Up can't be turned off), but if you don't use that addon, it works well.

Previous review: I can't recommend this as for now. I loved this addon and used it for years until it stopped working reliably anymore after the recent update. Something I noticed is that it would stop working after a few mins viewing a youtube video. I haven't tested if this only happens with videos or viewing a page in general, however. I only had ublock active at the time.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Br, 2 months agoThis is a pretty essential add-on but please make it harder to turn off. Just require me to retype a random string of 16 characters or something. Save us!

- Rated 2 out of 5by kmont1983, 5 months agoDoes not block comments on CNN.com, which uses the OpenWeb system.
- Rated 5 out of 5by nonononono, 5 months agoWorks really well! For example you can allow comments on reddit but disable them on youtube and it will remember that! Thank you for making this!!!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Vilerrante, 6 months agoMuito obrigado estranho. Por fazer esta extensão e melhorar muito a minha vida na internet.

- Rated 5 out of 5by JoleneRenee, 9 months agoHuge fan of this add-on! It works great, keeps me from getting sucked into the never-ending negative comment stream on sites like YouTube. Super easy to turn off but I don't plan to!
- Rated 5 out of 5by James Murphy, a year agoThe internet is such a nicer place with this add-on. Nice to be able to quickly turn it on and off, even though once it's on you'll want to keep it that way.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Bayouradio, a year agoI love this so far. I hear it's easy to turn it off but I'll avoid finding out how. This just improved life remarkably.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14352164, a year agoDoes what it says well but I wish it wasn't so easy to turn off. The temptation is too great.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13214510, a year agoOn behalf of folks like me, who are battling internet addiction (or would perhaps like to get away from the internet) and end up reading the comments section of just about any site (including youtube), a huge thank you for creating this addon. Works in Reddit and notalwaysright.com (disqus) and most sites. Pity there is no android version.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15039161, 2 years agoThis addon has always worked wonderfully, however, since a week or so it has issues with it intermittently not working. It also stops working after ten seconds or so, meaning I have to refresh the page before I can activate/deactivate the addon. I believe this is due to a conflict with the latest Firefox update and I hope it gets fixed soon. It's a fantastic addon when it works!

posted 2 years agoThank you for the bug report. This bug is new as of a recent Firefox release. I haven't yet tracked down the cause, but I'm investigating what happened now.
I'm sorry I don't have a workaround at this time, but I plan to fix this in short order.
UPDATE: Please try Shut Up 8.0.2 and let me know how it goes. Thanks for your patience and support. - Rated 5 out of 5by Katie, 2 years agoI've been using Comment Blocker for awhile on Chrome and just installed it on Firefox. Works like a dream on both browsers. There are several sites I love to visit, but the comments section are so vile that it ruins the experience and makes me tired of people. This add-on is a game changer and I can't recommend it enough. I was surprised to see how different the experience is and how much better I feel without suffering through everyone's opinion on whatever today's outrage is.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Billips, 2 years agoNot working atm? Otherwise the one Firefox plugin (and iOS app!) I couldn't do without.

posted 2 years agoHi there,
Sorry about that! I just released a new version, but the extension shouldn’t have stopped working. Would you mind giving me more details over email so I can troubleshoot? ricky.romero@gmail.com - Rated 5 out of 5by Kostia, 3 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by nimble, 3 years agoPeace and quiet. Thank you! Just wish the extension would have the obvious name: "No Comment".
