In principle, it appears that we could allow people to save arbitrary individualized javascript to be loaded everywhere on MO, by using cookies and subdomains.

In addition the preference CSiegel mentioned, you can also use javascript to hide all questions which don't have "interesting" tags by pasting this into your location bar and hitting enter:

javascript:$(".question-summary:not(.tagged-interesting)").hide();void(0);

If you want to do this often, make a bookmark in your browser with the above code as the "location". When you want to hide "non-interesting" questions, just click the bookmark.

You can toggle ignored tags and whether they are hidden on your prefs. As for both, you get a grayed out green question.

As a general rule, I do not want to "ignore" tags, because sometimes I find (or even ask) questions that interest me, even in areas that, for the most part, I do not want to read. However, it would be nice to have a quick way to toggle between "see only questions with interesting tags" and "see all questions [except those with "ignored" tags]." Alternately (if slightly less happily), I might create a list of "ignored" tags if I had a way to toggle whether the "ignored" tags are actually ignored. Is there a way to do either of these?

[Side note: what happens if the same question, having multiple tags, qualifies as both "interesting" and "ignored"?]
