- (2025-06-25) Ahnaf Tech: Works perfectly right out the gate. Removes every pesky comment! Smooth viewing from now HAHA
- (2025-06-12) mohamed essam: Thanks!! chat now is becoming noisy with lots of hate words and explicit texts, you did something benificial!!
- (2025-05-17) John Saare: Close, but really, no cigar. My main interest was in disabling live chat, in particular in fullscreen. It does disable live chat, but in fullscreen, you're left with an empty black box on the right, with no way to close or dismiss it. This basically results in a degraded fullscreen experience.
- (2025-01-09) Lard Lad: Works as advertised. No more comments from the smartest kids in 8th grade
- (2024-11-30) Chris Les: Pretty good extension, does exactly what it says. A little too good, some might say. Only thing: I'd love for a way to filter out certain Youtube channels instead of blocking All of Youtube's comments. Some channels I'm actually fine with seeing their comments, but then I forget that it's off and, surprise, I scroll and get triggered on a different channel. It's more of a convenience thing.
- (2024-10-17) Flash: Fantastic. YT comments is useless anyways, not only you can't have a productive conversation with randoms online, Google's censorship is really bad so half of your comments get auto-deleted anyways. Better to not even see the comments so you're not triggered to comment yourself and waste your time.
- (2024-09-23) syxxgames: So far it's working for me. Even on shorts. I also love the fact it helps me focus on the video and all the bad, bot, negative comments are vanished! Definitely recommend.
- (2024-08-18) Hugh Perkins: doesnt work on shorts
- (2024-06-30) Jeffrey M Denza: Works flawlessly so far! Like Rose said, "People are just nasty". And I'm over it.
- (2024-06-13) Josh Wanamaker: Works, but for some reason lately it leaves behind a large empty black box on the right-hand-side of the video, rather than just eliminating the element completely. As such, videos no longer fill the window in "theater" mode. No idea what caused this, but it's clearly not happening for everybody.
- (2024-05-28) Primrose H: low star for attention please remove the comments from the shorts section too otherwise its good. Im sick of the toxicity from the comment sections. People are just nasty lol
- (2024-05-20) Kevin Hodapp: Seems to work so far, the old "Hide YouTube Comments, Live Chat, & Related" extension seems to have broke and been removed from the Chrome store.
- (2024-05-12) Chris McGimpsey-Jones: Great! Makes YouTube more tolerable because I can still make a positive comment yet don't have to read other people's negative garbage in the comments and live chat, which I never have any interest in reading.
- (2024-04-07) S. A.: simple and exactly what i wanted. thanks!
- (2024-03-29) envy: Highly recommended for CS2 tournaments... lol
- (2024-01-31) Ola Nordqvist: Works really well. The Live chat is extremely taxing performance wise so this is a total godsend. Thanks!
- (2024-01-08) AGNY36: I've been praying for something like this. I auto-pilot to the comments and just reading them makes my blood boil sometimes, and I waste even more time than necessary. This is awesome
- (2023-12-24) Sean Loughran: Exactly what I needed! No more useless and ridiculous distracting comments!
- (2023-12-15) Michael Oning: Thank you

- (2023-03-15) Josh Baer: Interfered with ad blockers, causes a glitch on YouTube that allows ads to get through on top of the video playing, and above the playlist. Not worth the trade-off.

- (2022-01-29) Lucian Andries: It's nice, but................... Can you make the Live Chat and the chat after the stream is over, to just Collapse, instead of fully hiding it? Meaning, leave the buttons as they are, so we can get back the chat if we need to. Please! Because if we need the chat, we have to disable the option and reload the page.🤦♂️🤦♂️ You can do a similar thing for comments as well. But in their case, you can make a button on the page, to hide/unhide them.
