August Leyda (ID: 00000046224e65f1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/10/2022 this extension works fairly well, but i've had two issues crop up: - if i have over 50 tags subscribed to, they don't seem to show up past the initial 50 when clicking the "watched tags" button - the extension constantly says i have "75+" new images, even if i have none. this may be linked to the previous issue, i.e. it's seeing that i haven't seen the new images from the tags i've subscribed to which don't actually pop up when i click "view watched" i'm not sure if multiple windows are meant to open up when i have 50+ tags or if they're all meant to show on the same page, but either way the extension dos not seem to be working right for those cases. Edit: looks like these are fixed!

Sir Bibton (ID: 0000003d8f34e7d8) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/12/2021 I used it for a year and it worked pretty good. Then I kept trying to add tags and they just... wouldn't. I'd check the list or reload the page and it just ignores that I favorited a tag. Then, just today I restarted my computer and all my tags are gone. The rest of my extensions, history, bookmarks, cookies and even extension settings stayed the same so it was unlikely that the fault of this is on anything other than this extension. I did back up the list but it was a while ago so I lost the names of quite a few great artists because I didn't think an extension this basic would screw up so bad. Sorry, but this is inexcusable.

zaz (ID: 0000001b78a73523) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/22/2020 anyway, you can implement custom tags? such as "sound favcount:>50" or "story rating:e favcount:>50".
