There is Zeeker <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zeeker/>, but there seems to be no new versions recently, and I cannot find a link to the browser add-on on their web site, so they might have abandoned it.
The problem with comment sections on web sites is that the web sites are incentivized to have shitty comments for engagement and ease of moderation. If it's a browser plugin, it's out of the website's hands and as the user I could probably configure it so I only see comments from people I think are good at commenting, like my friends or people I follow on social media.
I think it was to be able to discuss things on websites that removed comment sections or that had a lot of heavy moderation that prevented meaningful discussions.
