We all experienced those accounts who post a spam comment on our posts within 2.2 seconds of the post going up.  These comments provide no value and only serve to clutter up the comment section.  

The only way to deal with this is to downvote the comment so that it goes invisible...until now.

I just found a post put up by @andybets which introduced a Chrome extension that blocks it.

After downloading it, I tried it and it is really simple.

As highlighted here, the extension shows up in the upper right of Chrome with the Steem logo.

You simply press it on an article to activate it.

Also, you can see a post that is now faded out.

Another feature is when you hover over the user name, you get the spam information.

Here is a screen shot of one who is not a spammer.

This is just being introduced so I am sure there will be updates to it.  There is a settings for "options" which is grayed out at the moment.  I would imagine we will be able to change the spam percentage which fades a comment out.

I find this to be a wonderful addition to the STEEM blockchain and suggest all Chrome users to try it out.  It appears to be a great way to fight some of the spam in the comment section.

Here is the original post along with information on how to donate to the project if you desire.
