The "Web 2.0" movement is all about user-generated content. That's great. Unfortunately when it comes to user-generated comments, the result is usually asinine, ignorant, racist, cynical, depressing, spam, or generally infuriating. If you're like me and you can't look away, this extension can be a blessing.
* No more comments
* No more likes
* No more share counts
* No more +1s
* No more popularity metrics in general
Just content.
Why Use This Extension?
=======================
There are other comment blocking extensions out there. What makes this extension different?
* Having a "show comments" button is like bringing a beer to an AA meeting: why have it there if you don't want to use it? The only way to show comments with this extension is to go to your settings and disable it entirely.
* Likes, +1s, and other popularity measures can also be distracting. Who cares if millions of people hate a Youtube video that you like? This extension attempts to remove all such distractions.
* Where possible, I have tried to avoid blocking your option to comment, share, like, etc.
* This extension is open source. That means you can help to improve it and I can't be an asshole and sneak in spyware.
Technical Details
=================
As far as I know, there is no silver bullet for comment removal. This script uses a bunch of site-specific CSS rules to hide unwanted content. If a site you visit is unaffected by this extension, you can let me know and I'll see what I can do. Contributions are also welcome.
Some sites (such as Facebook) do not provide a way to easily single out content for removal, so not all content can be blocked.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
