If your ad blocker has somewhere you can copy-paste filters (like a “My filters” section) just stick your statements there.
Your ad blocker will block any story with tags that contain those words.
More details under the cut!
Block by exact tag
The statement above blocks any tags that contain your keywords. For example, if you use it to block ‘Angst’, it will cover tags like ‘Heavy Angst’, but also ones like ‘No Angst’. This may or may not be what you’re going for, depending on the tag.
To block exact tags, put them in a statement like this:
This statement blocks the ‘Angst’ tag. (Or ‘angst’ - the ‘i’ option makes it case insensitive.) It doesn’t block other tags like ‘No Angst‘.
We’re also blocking ‘Hurt/No Comfort’ to show how special characters look with this method. You have to replace spaces with %20, forward slashes with *s*, question marks with *q*, periods with *d*, and hashtags with *h*.
If you’re on desktop you can Right Click - Inspect the tag, and just copy how it looks there.
Importing as a custom filter list
If your ad blocker doesn’t have a place to copy-paste your statements, check if it has a place where you can import custom filters. With this method, you’ll have to make your own filter list and upload it somewhere like google drive or github. I have an example on github here that blocks fics with an explicit rating, and a couple of links here that walk you through how to make your own.
The cool thing about doing it this way is that you can have your list in one place and link to it from multiple devices. Then, if you update your list, you only need to do it once, instead of on each separate device.
