About StackOverflow&Co. : 'Create a custom filter' Button Augmentation
Augment Stack Overflow’s “Create a custom filter” button to work even when a filter is already applied.
On some pages with an active custom filter, the “Create a custom filter” button looks clickable but does nothing. This extension patches that specific case so the filter editor opens as expected—usually without a full page reload.
---
What it does:
Detects the broken state when a filter is already applied.
Cleans the URL and invokes the proper action to open the custom filter editor.
---
Why you might want it:
Saves time when customizing search results.
Minimal, targeted fix—no UI, no clutter.
---
Scope & compatibility:
Runs ONLY on stackoverflow.com and subdomains (e.g., meta.stackoverflow.com).
Not affiliated with Stack Overflow or Stack Exchange.
---
Privacy & permissions:
No data collection.
No extra permissions beyond injecting a content script on Stack Overflow pages.
---
Troubleshooting:
Ensure the extension is enabled and you’re on a page with an active filter.
If you’re using Teams or other Stack Exchange sites, make sure those domains are included in your extension’s match list.
Hard-reload the page after installing or updating.
