## Review summary

Filter Affinity is a useful Firefox add-on that allows users to block specific artists and filter unwanted content on FurAffinity, improving browsing experience. However, it has notable flaws: keyword filtering doesn't fully work, some controls are unreliable or missing, and the extension faces compatibility issues due to lack of maintenance after the creator's passing. Despite these drawbacks, many users appreciate its core functionality, which FurAffinity itself lacks, making it essential for users who want to avoid certain content.

### Pros

- Effectively blocks specific artists and unwanted content on FurAffinity.
- Simple and easy to use interface.
- Provides filtering functionality that FurAffinity itself lacks.
- Allows users to avoid seeing certain artists or content they dislike.

### Cons

- Keywords filtering is ineffective; only titles are blocked, so unwanted content may still appear.
- Add/remove controls on thumbnails are unreliable or non-functional.
- The add-on has compatibility issues with newer versions of Firefox or FurAffinity, causing features like the blocking buttons and icons to not appear.
- Some filtered content, such as thumbnails or tagged images, still appears despite filtering attempts.
- The original developer passed away, leading to no updates or fixes, causing the extension to break over time.
