Block all Facebook comments – possible?!

Post by NoComments »

Hello there,
is there a way to generally block all Facebook comments so that I can view any Facebookpage without distractions?
I just want to read the content of the site.

If there is a way, please let me know.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I added them under

#“My own filters”

Added a new group

Insert 3 lines

But sorry to say that it had no effect.

Did I do it wrong?
I am using the GERMAN version by the way.

Did it work on your system?

yes, it works, add also

Code: Select all

facebook.com##.UFICommentLink
but I'm not sure if for other languages they are changing the internal structure of the page

to be sure: you are talking about blocking / hiding the comments on the facebook.com pages or other sites (using the FB plugin for comments) ?

anyway, did you try using EHH (element hiding helper) to generate your own custom filters ?

The topic is:
Hiding the comments on FACEBOOK ITSELF.
NOT on pages that are using FB features.
I tried it and it did unfortunately not work, but thank you.
Question:
DOES it work von FACEBOOKPAGES directly?

sure, the filters above are working fine for me.
As I suggested, use EHH to create your own filters.

Or use my Anti-Facebook subscription. And it'll kill those facebook comments.
