About this extension
Detects spam comments and automatically hides them, protecting its users from spoofers, adult content pushers, and other annoyances.
If the add-on hides a comment you want to see, simply click the "Likely spam (+)" text and it will reveal the hidden comment (with the profile picture blurred just in case). Displaying the reason the comment was marked as spam can be disabled/enabled via the "spam reason labels" in the options menu.
