Pixiv User Filter EN

This addon allows you to block artworks of specific users by adding user IDs to a blacklist.
The artworks will be removed from Recommendation section, tag/search pages, Discovery, etc.
On blocked user profiles and artwork pages their images will be replaced by placeholders (optional, can be turned off)
The addon will display a counter to show how many artworks it removed.

Supported pages

Additional functions

• Exclude the artworks of the author on who's page you are currently on from the Recommendations.
• Restore proper uncropped artwork thumbnails, in their original aspect ratio.
• Limit the number of recommendations shown.

Usage instructions:

• Clicking the addon icon on the toolbar opens the addon's Options page
• To add a user to a blacklist, right click a link to a user's profile,
  which would be in a format like "www.pixiv.net/en/users/<user_ID>",
  go to "Pixiv User Filter" -> "Add User to Blacklist". Removing a user from blacklist
  can be done in a similar way, just choose the option "Remove User from Blacklist" instead.
• Another way to add/remove users to a blacklist is to edit it directly in the addon's
  Options page, by manually adding/removing the user ID(s). The format of the list
  is each user ID on a new line. Click 'Save Blacklist' button to save the changes.
• A floating counter shows how many artworks were removed on the current page, by default its located in the bottom-left corner. You can drag the counter to any position on the page, and its new location will be saved.
• Addon icon on the toolbar also shows the same counter of removed artworks.
• If you also want to remove the artworks of the user who's artwork you are viewing
  currently from its Recommendations section, check the appropriate checkbox
  in addon's Options page.
• "Restore proper uncropped thumbnails" allows you to uncrop the thumbnails and display them in full, in original aspect ratio. Idea from the "Improve Pixiv thumbnails" userscript.
• "Limit the number of recommendations" - does just that. By default Pixiv loads up to 180 recommendations in batches of 18, slider is also divided by increments of 18 images to match that. Can set 0 to block all recommendations. Using this option not just hides recommendations but blocks loading requests entirely, so blocked images won't be loaded at all.

Backup

• Export Blacklist button allows you to quickly save the current blacklist as a .txt file.
• You can create manual backups of your blacklist+settings, which will be saved as a .json files, as well as restore them via 'Save Backup' and 'Load Backup' buttons.
• You can enable auto-backups - the addon will automatically create hourly / daily / weekly / monthly backups in Firefox's default download location, at: '[FF-addon-backups] / [Pxv.UF-backups]'. It will retain the last 4 hourly backups, and 3 of each other category. This requires the "Downloads" permission.
• If there are no changes in the backup data compared to the previous state for the same backup type, then its simply skipped.
• Addon uses Downloads history to track its backups. If you wipe it, the addon will lose reference to existing backup files and won't be able to auto-delete them, so you'll need to remove them manually at some point if they aren't needed.
