HNBlocker – Chrome extension that lets you block other HN users

In plain words

HNBlocker is a Chrome extension that allows Hacker News users to block other users from their feed. Launched in 2013, it provides a straightforward way to filter out specific community members whose posts or comments users prefer not to see. The tool is designed for regular Hacker News participants who want to customize their browsing experience by excluding particular users from their view of the site.
