Blocks comment sections on many popular websites.
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!

- (2024-11-02) Gabe B: This extension is perfect for dealing with the idiocy of comment sections. Edit: Ricky can you work on improving the performance of the extension? It's a great extension features wise but it uses A LOT of CPU.
- (2023-11-05) Cyndriana Omar Madi: Works perfectly with Instagram! I can finally enjoy posts without the stupid and negative comments that come with it.
- (2023-11-01) Michael: It doesn't work on Patreon.
- (2023-09-28) BackhandSmack: This Extension has reduced the amout of Right-Wing Nazi retards on my screen to 0. this gets a 10 out of 5 and a Donation. Thank you so much.
- (2023-09-27) Holly: Works perfectly except on Instagram. Great anyways!
- (2023-09-18) Neil Bailey: If only it worked at family reunions, too
- (2023-09-11) Val Arc.: Awasome! This app removed all comments! For example, I went on Youtube and comments were not visible anymore. I went on facebook and I could just read "1285 comments " but yet I could not seen anymore! So we spend less time to read comments inopportune or comments that make us upset all the time. Finally , Internet is a place for relaxing and not arguing or reading comments that ruin your proposit to stay 'calm' and kind. Thank you ! Spread this app, let all people that want peaceful social network's experience, to install this app! PS: with Twitter, to me, it didn't work yet , I hope one day!

- (2023-06-09) Bernard Duggan: Doing the lord's work. Thank you so much.
- (2023-05-21) Adam S: Peace and quiet at last...

- (2023-03-31) ねろ: 便利に使わせていただいていますが、ヤフーニュースだけコメントが消えません。
- (2022-12-02) Marcus Chibucos: Shut Up is one of my favorite extensions of all time. I've used it in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari for years. It makes a site like YouTube much more enjoyable, allowing me to watch videos without even noticing the tiresome and endless stream of jabber in the comments section. I keep it pinned to quickly enable it on sites like Reddit, where comments are often desirable. I've never experienced any issues using this extension, and it doesn't seem to affect browser resources in any way that I've noticed. Great!
- (2022-07-08) Hwn Frd: Works like a charm. Works for the Reviews section on MyAnimeList.
- (2022-05-30) Continental Nobleman: good
- (2022-04-01) Justin: Possibly, if not absolutely, the #1 most important and useful extension you will ever install. This is an absolute god-send and deserves to be not only one of, but THE, top rated and suggested extension on every "Top" list ever created. Hell...the world would be a better place if this came pre-installed and activated. Protect your sanity! Install this extension without delay!
- (2022-03-07) Frank Gabis: Great extension, works without any problems so far after downloading. IMO it's 100% necessary if browsing sites like Youtube, Instagram and Reddit if you don't want to pull your hair out over comments that are either very toxic and divisive, or overused jokes you heard 3 years ago
- (2022-01-28) Daniel Francis: Fantastic extension. I use it every day and have loved not seeing comments that would just bother me all day. I have noticed what could be possibly a bug. I just noticed today that the extension will not activate on Google hosted websites like Youtube. Is this something that Chrome is doing? Is it the pound of flesh for hosting this on the Chrome Web Store? Or is this news to the dev team? Edit 01/27/2022: I'm leaving this mostly unedited but have updated the stars to 5. I've learned the chrome web store is protected from any extensions modifying it. That's why this wasn't working on this website. My guess at conspiracy on Google's part was incorrect haha. Fantastic extension! Thanks!
- (2021-11-06) Dean Pearce: Installed and verified on a few sites that I frequent, this is probably now my second favourite plugin after uBlock Origin. Comment sections are insanely toxic, I'm happy that I can avoid the rage-inducing garbage.
- (2021-09-16) Eduard Tikhenko: Увы, не работает на habr.ru
- (2021-09-15) Comrade Toptunov: can u make it for the mobile app also
- (2021-07-29) CreeperPower storing: shut up
- (2021-07-16) Ian J: Works good on some sites, but Twitter still seems to load comments. I'm just a doom scroller and need to be stopped, and maybe this will help. Not reading the comments is self care, Comments not loading at all is even better.
- (2021-06-04) Billy Herrington: Best addon ever created
- (2021-05-05) Rodrigo Oliveira: YAY!
- (2021-04-05) Lad Zappa: I love you sir. I simply love you. I no longer have to see or read what people say on the internet. It's the grossest aspect of humanity, one that comes out when humans have anonymity and no recompense for their words or actions. It's worse than Mos Eisley. The things people say when they are in their home and behind a keyboard, the internet just really shows the true unveiled human condition and it's honestly just psychologically, bad. So thank you sir for making this.
- (2021-03-24) Matěj Fouma: Doesn't work on Facebook anymore. It's essential there! :( Edit 09/03 - still not working. Is it possible that it's because i haven't set English as language? Edit 24/03 - works perfectly
- (2021-03-17) Lahcen Idrissi: Amazing extension thank you!
- (2021-03-04) Milivoj Bunjevac: Five stars, perfect extension to silence the trolls. Just a suggestion to developer: if a password protect could be added, so that the comments cannot be enabled without entering password, it would be even better.
- (2021-02-27) D Boy: comments are a waste of time and where intelligence goes to die 5 times over, I dont need to see 100s of peoples opinions on stuff
- (2021-02-26) maskvp mGy: Worked on a couple sites for less than 24 hours.Had high hopes at first. Tried all sorts of way of using it. Inconsistent and a waste of my time. Probably for you too.
- (2021-02-11) adri kuczynski: me sirve mucho para no leer automáticamente los comentarios estúpidos que ponen en youtube
- (2021-02-07) DC Fan: Runs great on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube but not on Twitter. Please fix this. I really like not having to read negative comments from trolls, fanboys, fangirls, social justice warriors, keyboard warriors, etc, when I watch the video's or read news links. The negative comments can be infuriating. The vast majority who post & respond use fake profiles. Many will post once and never post again just to irritate you or get under your skin.
- (2021-01-02) Brad Bird: Exactly what I needed, works on everything I tested so far.
- (2020-12-15) Lucas Vaz: Funciona com praticamente todos os sites, até mesmo sites mais desconhecidos.
- (2020-12-14) Environmentum: Does not block twitter comments.
- (2020-12-03) Sam Burgett: Didn't work :c
- (2020-11-24) Greg OfCanada: Sweet relief. I don't care much for the psychotic ramblings of others. Now I can just block it out. Thank goodness.
- (2020-11-04) Артем Алексеев: Great extension.
- (2020-10-24) Łukasz Jaszak: This plugin is a heaven sent. Even it's name is perfect. Thank you.
- (2020-10-14) Andrew Robinson: Perfection. no longer must i, or anyone else be subject to the cesspool of hatred and pain in comment sections such as the one in youtube. i have no clue who the creator is, but you have created something holy that i will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you.
- (2020-10-12) Timofey Sherudilo: Does what it should, but not without troubles. Lastly, it began to hide not only comments, but the whole reposts in vk.com conversations. When reading news or recommendations on the same site, there are some glitches, too. And what's strange: the Firefox version of the extension still works perfectly! So 4 stars.
- (2020-09-24) Gevin Madharha: Works perfectly on all websites that I've been to so far. Thank you for allowing me to remove negativity online with ease.
- (2020-09-21) Marcin Pasternak: Dzięki temu rozszerzeniu Internet znowu stał się używalny.
- (2020-08-03) Jonathan Marten: Absolutely fantastic extension, vital for my mental health. Now I can enjoy the internet without the torrent of toxicity that comes from having a comment box. One feature request - the extension doesn't seem to work on the chromium-based Kiwi browser for Android. I'd love to have this work on mobile as well!
- (2020-07-20) David: It stopped working again
- (2020-07-04) Михаил Груздев: Прекрасное расширение! Всё работает идеально и не портит разметку, в моём случае ВКонтакте! Большое спасибо разработчику!
- (2020-04-12) IvanH915: It doesn't work on all of the sites that I go to. Wondering if that can be fixed.
- (2020-04-06) William Tsai: Thanks. That's what I need.
- (2020-02-11) Best comment blocker out there by far. The ability to turn comments on or off quickly, and for it to remember the settings for each website is the winner for me. Highly recommended!
