Chrome: You can use "Just Don't Look" as a strategy for avoiding less-than-helpful web comments, but your eyes will often defeat you. No Comments elegantly removes the comments section from many sites, but lets you turn the worthy comments back on.

On the basis of its chosen blacklist alone, No Comments is noteworthy—it includes a good number of sites where comments can, in one way or another, run out of control. Full disclosure, of course—Lifehacker, and all the other Gawker Media blogs, are included in that list. If our interactive portion is able to win you back over, though, you can turn the comments back on by hitting the toggle button that appears in your address bar whenever No Comments is doing its thing.

No Comments is a free download, works wherever Chrome does.
