- (2019-09-16) Jeffrey Shao: Doesn't seem to work anymore
- (2019-06-12) Jason Smith: It's great... when it actually works. I have to constantly refresh the page for it to display the "Show Comments" text. It only works about 50% of the time, really wish I could keep it, but it's more of a nuisance than it is useful :(
- (2018-12-27) Nico Newport: does exactly what it says, no shady stuff. also matches the "show more" description text perfectly, which is nice and unobtrusive.
- (2018-12-07) Disciple de Jésus-Christ: marche
- (2018-10-12) Kiril Swenson: great extension, does what it says, no BS, works like a charm :)
- (2017-12-28) Nickolas Kenyeres: Blends right into the YouTube UI and works as advertised. Hiding the comments makes consuming content on YouTube much more enjoyable.
- (2017-12-12) Laura Green: It does what it says. A great relief to hide all the nutters unless I choose to peep.
- (2017-11-04) Sonia Meade: I love this app! I can finally enjoy YouTube without being tempted to read all the comments. Thanks for fixing it.
- (2017-05-23) Only been using for a short while and seems to work well. While I generally prefer to avoid YT comments as well as any temptation to waste time making any myself, there is the odd video I view were it is useful to do so and this ext makes that very easy while for the most part keeping the door shut on the same.
- (2017-02-03) Sergel Giles: Awesome extension. Does what it says. Improves my own productivity too.
- (2016-12-30) The Lister: It does job well and its also the cleanest looking so far.
- (2016-11-06) Alex P: All I can say is "It works". And saves me from that incarnation of Idiocracy, youtube comments. Sadly, it also breaks the "show more" links in long comments.
