Add-on summary

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!

This 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!
