Indispensable! Like streinen, mine stopped working recently, but the prerelease version 0.4.0 is working perfectly again:
https://github.com/jsmnbom/ao3-enhancements/releases/tag/v0.4.0-beta.10
Looking forward to the update here so I can add it back to my mobile browser (F-Droid Fennec)
It's worked fine more or less (occasionally misses a few tags here and there, page loads slower than normal). But lately the extension straight up doesn't appear on the dash anymore. It's just gone. But the Hide settings still pop up like a buggy mess.

No clue what's going on anymore, I'm disabling this extension until it's fixed.
