YouTube Comment Blocker, a free add-on for Mozilla’s Firefox browser, does precisely what its name points out: it hides comments as well as video responses on the popular video-sharing site.

These situations and more are efficiently mitigated with a free and quite handy Firefox add-on called YouTube Comment Blocker.

The developer came up with a short introduction video and posted it on, where else, YouTube. If you want to check this video out, I embedded it below.



That’s pretty much it. Go get YouTube Comment Blocker for free and you won’t have to put up with annoying YouTube comments anymore. You can focus on what’s important – the video.

Here’s another handy Firefox add-on you may want to know about: PopVideo. Take the video I embedded above. Without the PopVideo add-on, you have to watch the video right where it is.

The video is taken out of its original location and presented as a floating, resizable window.

And here’s second handy Firefox add-on you may want to know about: YouTube Smart Pause. this add-on does is it automatically pauses the video’s playback when minimize the browser window. Or if you have several tabs open, it automatically pauses the playback when you switch from the video’s tab to another tab.
