Feyntube is great!
Don’t suppose you know of a similar one for Comment is Free in the Guardian? I would really like to be able to read the articles without worrying about my eye sipping down and seeing the pages of comments from shouty right wing nutters – it really ruins my mood. It is useful to be aware of the other side’s opinions, but you don’t definitely want it all the time.
