YouTube comments are known to be vicious, but it’s certainly not the only website with that reputation. Sadly, unless they are well moderated, comments often end up being insulting, racist, or worse, and on many websites you won’t miss anything important by hiding them altogether.

Shut Up is a Chrome extension, also available for Firefox, that lets you do just that. It uses the shutup.css stylesheet, created by Steven Frank, to disable comments on almost any web page you visit, and it’s all done automatically.

While it’s understandable why many websites have comment sections – so visitors can chime in with their opinions – it’s usually not a big loss to disable them.

When you install the extension, it automatically disables comment sections on all supported websites. Now, of course, you may still want to see comments on certain pages, and you can enable them again by just clicking the extension’s icon.

If you find that a keyboard shortcut is handier than clicking the extension’s icon in the toolbar, all you have to do is press Ctrl+Shift+X. The hotkey is even customizable.

After turning the comments back on for a certain website, the extension will remember your preference for future visits; if you don’t want this, the feature can be disabled.

There really isn’t much else to say about Shut Up. If you don’t want to see comment sections on websites, go ahead and install it. It worked very well on every page we visited during our tests, and toggling the comments on and off is always instant.

What's new in Shut Up for Chrome 8.0:

  • Upgraded to Manifest v3 for future browser compatibility. (Firefox support TBD)
  • Switched to new native WebExtensions APIs for adding blocking rules to pages.
  • Updated the Options page to support narrow window widths.
  • Fixed an issue in the Options page that prevented links from opening in a full tab.
