How to block all Disqus content with Ublock Origin

I heard that it is possible to use Ublock Origin to block not only ads but also Disqus content on all websites that host it. Disqus is a commenting system that many websites like newspapers add to their webpages. I don't want to see it and I don't want to be tracked by it so I installed the Ublock Origin extension to my browser.

While it is blocking ads as I expect "out of the box," it is not blocking Disqus. Looking at the dashboard, all I see is a huge mess of complicated looking filters.

Can someone provide simple instructions on how to block Disqus content with Ublock Origin?

You can easily add Disqus in your filters.

You just add the following:

To add a filter, go to the uBlock Origin Options page and go to the My Filters tab. Over there you just add the lines you wanna block and click Apply Changes on top.
