I love that it blocks suggested communities

    Great add-on! My only request would be to add a way to quickly block individual accounts. Reddit won't let me mute/block them natively anymore for whatever reason (as in, it just displays an error whenever I try to do that).

    Edit: Thank you!

    Thank you for the review! I’ve just released version 2.4.0, which adds the ability to block individual accounts. You can find this feature in the Filters tab. I hope you find it useful!

    Works really well, but please let us use wildcards, so I can do *india* to hide all subs that contain the word "india"

    Hi, and thanks for the suggestion! I’ve just released version 1.5.0, which adds wildcard support.

    Let me know if you run into any issues with the new functionality! :)

    one more edit, at first i was having an issue where the feature that blocked certain boards from appearing didnt work at all, I wrote here to get help with it and it was fixed super fast, thank you! theres so many annoying drama hound boards that pop up on reddits popular feed that i compulsively read and its legit damaging to my psyche, it feels really good to be able to eliminate them.

    Hello and thanks for reaching out!

    The reason posts weren't being filtered is that removal only happens when the "All" option is selected in the popup settings. I know this wasn't explained anywhere, so I just released version 1.4.3, which adds a short description of this behavior right in the popup page, and also improves how subreddit names are parsed (you can now enter the full Reddit URL, "r/news", or just "news").

    Could you update to 1.4.3 and let me know if filtering is more consistent using the "All" option? I don't have a GitHub repo yet (might set one up down the line), but feel free to keep reporting issues here in the meantime.

    Exactly what I was looking for. Works great, and it is easy to navigate the settings. The only feature I feel like I am missing is a "Dark Mode" setting for the UI and redirect web page. I do not enjoy getting flashbanged when I try to open Reddit at 2 in the morning. Otherwise, a 10/10 extension.

    Hi Siv, thanks for the kind words! Your review pushed me to add a dark mode, the update has just been released. I really appreciate the suggestion!

    My favorite subreddit has spiraled into darkness. This helps me break the habit of staring into the abyss
