Review summary

Users broadly praise DeviantArt Filter for effectively blocking unwanted content and its essential, unobtrusive integration. However, it suffers from long-term stagnation, reliability issues across content areas, and compatibility problems with DeviantArt’s Eclipse layout and site changes, plus occasional UI glitches. Overall, it’s valuable but fragile and in need of ongoing maintenance.

Pros

Blocks unwanted content (fetish/mature art, porn) across DeviantArt, reducing exposure.
Widely regarded as essential or lifesaving, enabling safer browsing.
Integrates with DeviantArt's UI and feels unobtrusive, preserving the site's look.
Provides effective tag/keyword filtering for customization.

Cons

Not updated for a long time (over a year/two years), raising maintenance concerns.
Blocking reliability is inconsistent across content types and site areas (literature, videos, groups/notifications; sometimes filters don't apply or show filtered items).
Compatibility issues with DeviantArt's Eclipse layout and upcoming site changes, causing it not to work.
UI glitches and conflicts caused by site changes (button placement, overlapping controls) making usage harder.

2026-02-17	da*****	While this does still mostly work, I'm giving it 1 star due to no updates in over a year and a pretty glaring issue I reported to the Github months ago that still has yet to be addressed: It fails to block literature and video posts.

2024-01-19	Pu*****	Worked great while it lasted. Unfortunately this not being updated in over two years really shows, as I've noticed today that this extension no longer works at all. I tried to add a tag to the filters to test it, a filter that I was sure I already had in my list, and sure enough it said it was a duplicate and did not create the filter while still allowing the deviation in question to be fully displayed. Rating three rather than anything lower for the extension's historical effectiveness and ease of use.

2023-08-20	Ch*****	It is a lifesaver for letting me block the horrible things people post (since the site is run by nitwits who put a cap on how many people you can block normally). Unfortunately, today it seemed to delete all the blocked users and keywords I had for seemingly no reason, so I have to start over. Guess I should start backing up my list with the export feature.
