Update 2016-04-11 cg's Hide Games Faster update means you can hide games in the background without having to refresh the page even if you don't have this script installed. For compatibility reasons, I've released version 1.3 which suppresses the script's functionality until I get it working with the site's new way of doing things, and adds a (hopefully) helpful message explaining the situation. If you were having trouble hiding games for the last few hours then this should fix the problem.


Update 2015-11-16 Shortly after my last update, Extended Steamgifts version 2 came out, so here's a new update (1.2.1) that works with Extended Steamgifts 2.


Update 2015-11-14 As of version 1.2 this script is now compatible with the endless scrolling feature from Nandee's Extended Steamgifts script. Thanks to ChibiCthulhu for requesting this.


Update Special thanks to patetico for taking a look at the source and spotting a tiny-yet-critical bug. The script should now be working as intended.

If you have version 1 of the script installed then check for updates - version 1.1 should hopefully fix any problems you may have been having


Hi. I made a userscript to make adding hiding games on SG's giveaway list a little bit more convenient, and a lot quicker for those times when there are several games you want to hide.

Right now it's quite easy to hide a game on SteamGifts, but it can still be a bit of a pain if there are several games you want to hide. Without this script, this is how you'd do it:

  • Click on the "hide" button for a game you don't want to see anymore
  • A popup appears asking if you want to hide all giveaways of that game - click "Yes"
  • Wait for the page to refresh
  • Repeat the whole process for each other game you want to hide
  • If you change your mind and decide you don't want to filter a particular game after all then you need to go to www.steamgifts.com/account/settings/giveaways/filters, recall the name of the game and search for it, and click "remove"

Once you have this userscript installed, you can do it like this:

  • Click on the "hide" button for each game you want to hide. No waiting, no page refreshing, no confirmation popups
  • If you change your mind and decide you don't want to filter a particular game after all then you can simply click on the "hide" button again to undo hiding it

Hope you like it. Feel free to give feedback in the comments or with the poll.

You can get steamgifts.com improved game filter from its GreasyFork page. If your browser already supports userscripts then simply press the big green "Install this script" button. For instructions on how to add userscript support if you don't already have it, press the big green question mark (?) button to the right of the install button.

This userscript has been tested and works on Firefox (with the Greasemonkey addon installed) and Google Chrome (with the Tampermonkey addon).

Have you tried it? What do you think?

I like it
Seems nice, but it's not for me
I don't like it
I want to use it, but it isn't supported on my browser yet
Haven't tried it, not planning to
I can't figure out how to install it
I don't install userscripts

This script seems to have started acting strangely for me in Firefox over the last day or two, I'm wondering if maybe this change has something to do with it somehow - https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/pzMDG/filter-giveaways-by-os-windows-linux-or-mac or if something else happened. Basically, I click the "hide" icon now and the standard site hide menu is showing up. I can click "close" on that menu though, rather than yes to hiding, and the game will then show as hidden with the usual crossed out view this addon gives after hiding. In Chrome, it seems to still work as expected. I tried removing and re-downloading the script, but it didn't seem to help.

I noticed that myself about an hour ago. I'm sure I used it earlier in the week without this problem, and I haven't updated my browser since, so that's not the cause, and I haven't changed the script lately either, so by process of elimination something must have changed in the steamgifts.com website.

Anyway, thanks for letting me know. I'm busy experimenting to find a solution, and hopefully it won't be long before I get it working properly again :)

I wasn't seeing the standard pop-ups until just now when your script updated. Now I am seeing them.

Thank you for telling me about that. I was able to reproduce this using Tampermonkey on Chrome. I suppose that's what you were using, right? I made another update which should fix it again so that it works on both browsers.

Yes, TamperMonkey on Chrome it is. I'll update now. Thanks!

Something seems to have broken this script as of this morning. I am seeing the default SteamGifts hide dialog again.

I did check for updates a few times, without any luck. Any ideas?

Hi LIGrenadier, thanks for letting me know. It still seems to work perfectly for me. What browser (and browser version) are you using, and which userscript addon are you on? Let me know when you get the chance and I'll see if I can find what's going wrong for you.

Figured it out. Tampermonkey got disabled somehow. It came up with a request for donations the other day, and I'm wondering if it I somehow disabled it while closing that out. Sorry for the false alarm.
