v2.4.0

A major update with new ways to manage blocked works, more control over why content is blocked, and several quality-of-life improvements.

Highlights

• Collapse Mode — Choose between completely hiding blocked works or replacing them with a compact placeholder.
• Custom Block Reasons — Add your own reason when blocking content.
• Word Blacklist — Block works containing specific words in titles, authors, or tags.
• Copy CSS ID — Quickly copy a work's .work-XXXXXX CSS ID.
• Word Count — Word count is now shown in work statistics.
• Better Imports — Older v2.x exports are automatically converted to the latest format.

What's New

Collapse Mode

You can now choose how blocked works are displayed.

• Hide removes blocked works from the page entirely.
• Collapse replaces them with a placeholder showing why the work was blocked.
• Collapsed works can be individually shown or hidden using the Show button.
• The setting is available from both the extension popup and AO3 navigation.

Custom Block Reasons

Blocking something can now include an optional reason.

Reasons can be added when blocking:

• Authors
• Tags
• Works
• Languages
• Words

Reasons are limited to 500 characters and are shown on collapsed works and in My Blocks.

The reason prompt also includes a character counter.

Word Blacklist

You can now block works based on specific words.

Blocked words are checked against:

• Author names
• Work titles
• Tags

Matching is case-insensitive and uses whole words only, so blocking "cat" will not block "caterpillar".

Blocked words can be managed from My Blocks, or added directly from AO3 using the new Block Word button.

Copy CSS ID

Every work blurb now has a Copy CSS ID button.

Clicking it copies the work's CSS ID in the format:

.work-123456

This makes it easier to use work IDs in custom CSS.

Updated Stats

The work stats bar now includes word count.

Improvements & Fixes

• Improved compatibility with older exported settings.
• v2.0 and v2.1 JSON exports are automatically converted to the current format when imported.
• Improved handling of older block entries that stored authors as strings or did not have reason fields.
• Improved wrapping of long words in block chips and collapse placeholders.
• Improved mobile layout.
• Fixed missing extension icon files.
• Extension versioning is now aligned with the Firefox Add-ons release.

Export Format

The export format has been updated to v3.0.

New exports include:

• blockedWords
• hideMode
• Block reasons

Import remains backward compatible with older v2.x exports, so existing settings can be imported without manually converting the file.

Release Notes

• Added icon for web extension
• Fixes the export of wrong css on export function
