I’m going to use it a lot to remove the metadata added to my epub because my Calibre was misconfigured.

Would it be possible to add an option to remove html comments embeded in an epub pages?

I suspect that it wouldn't be too hard to do in the editor with search/replace but I haven't tried it.
You don't need to use the book editor's S&R feature to remove a metadata element from an EPUB. Open the EPUB's OPF file (in the book editor), delete the entire element (in this case dc:description) in the code window, and save the EPUB.

If you don't want to 'mess' with editing the OPF code, you can use Sigil's Metadata Editor tool to remove individual metadata elements with the click of a button?

FWIW: I move the text from the Comments column to a Blurb custom column using calibre's Metadata Editor (in bulk via its S&R tool, or cut and paste for an individual book). This allows me to edit Blurb from the book list, and remove it from the EPUB with this plugin.
