Add-on summary

CommentBlock blocks toxic comment sections across the internet for a stress and distraction free internet experience!

Simply add CommentBlock to your browser and you are all set.

You can customize what is blocked by using the popover (click the “CB” button next to the address bar to open popover).

Popover Features: Use the toggles to turn on/off CommentBlock. Use the dropdowns to decide what elements are blocked (likes, shares, and/or comments) on sites like Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, LinkedIn etc. Click the “Whitelist this Domain” button on any webpage to prevent comment blocking on it. Use the “Report” button to report if CommentBlock is not working on a certain page.

For major sites like Facebook and Youtube, we have gone beyond just blocking comments and allow you to block things like likes, shares, suggested videos etc.

We would love to hear your feedback! Please use the feedback form in the popover to share any ideas, comments, or concerns.

So far, works like a charm, at least on Facebook, where I've tried it. I love that it also blocks the part where it says 'x comments x shares' that's really annoying. The posts look seamless now and way less distracting. Thank you. EDIT: This slows down, at the very least, Youtube. At the very least, I opened a YT playlist and I got a message saying this addon was slowing YT down and the images wouldn't load. I already have Distraction Free Youtube and I'd like to enable this addon ONLY for Facebook, please add an option for this. Thank you.
