I was just looking for the option to hide giveaways I don't already own, such as DLCs which are not correctly recognized or games I'm not interested in playing. In my settings I read "No additional games are currently being hidden. To hide individual games, use the icon next to giveaways." - but I can't see this icon. Seems I'm blind, can somebody please point me to it? :) Thanks.

Do you hide games you don't want to win using this "icon next to giveaways"?

Sure, always.
No, I wasn't aware of this feature.
No, I didn't find this icon until now...
No, I don't hide anything, because I want to leech as many games as possible.

its the crossed eye at the right of the steam symbol

It's a little eye next to the steam symbol on the right of each giveaway on the main page.
Although I remember some add-on I had in firefox caused them to be disappeared for some reason until I added an exception. You could have that problem.

It can only be done from the main page listings, however. If you are redirected to a game through an invite-only link, for example in a train, there is no way to hide it.

If you're into userscripts and want this feature then Daerphen has one that lets you hide a game within the giveaway page.

It's the sgblockgiveawaybutton one.

Thanks guys, that was quick.

I found it. I was always looking at the GA page of the game itself, not in the overview list. slap my forehead

Case closed. :)

Yup, great tool for example for those Risen 2 Deluxe or Sword of Asumi Deluxe giveaways I already own, but Steamgifts don't detect since "dlc"!

I'm using it to hide all those farming simulators. Also I use it to hide some DLC which I own but SG still let me to join them. Don't want to missclick and enter one of those. Or games like Deus Ex Human Revolution, I own Deus ex Human revolution Director's cut but i can enter the a GA for the base game.

:) Yes, but I left it open until now, since some people still replied and voted. But the voting result is very clear, anyways.
