AO3 Tag Blocker is a powerful browser extension crafted for Archive of Our Own users who want to filter out unwanted content effortlessly. This extension allows you to automatically block specific work tags, archive warnings, and content ratings, ensuring that content you wish to avoid never appears during your browsing sessions.

While the extension does not replace AO3's built-in search and filtering tools, it acts as a robust "nuclear option" that removes undesired tags and warnings permanently from your view. Users are advised to read the directions carefully, as the interface may not be as user-friendly as AO3 itself. By using AO3 Tag Blocker, you can tailor your AO3 experience to better match your preferences and avoid content that doesn't suit you.

The only problem is that removing blocked authors is broken, requiring you uninstall the extension and re-enter all your other blocks, and that general modification is though a somewhat clunky interface. A simple text file as an alternative way would make life much easier.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

AO3 Tag Blocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
