I got tired of waiting for a resolution on the issue, so I opted to just deploy my own site to host the page. It can be found here:

The nice thing about having a dedicated site is now it's much easier to access from a phone, favorite the page, and automatically get updates.

This is using the free options from Heroku and Netlify, so I'm not sure how reliable it will be or how much traffic it can sustain. We will see :)

Really appreciate your work on this. I was about to start making an inefficient web scraping tool that runs off desktop instead of html. It's surprising to me that favorites search isn't a built-in functionality.

If the free hosting ends up being insufficient, I'm sure some people would be willing to donate money to a paid solution. I'd chip in a small amount myself.

Well shit this is amazing, thank you so much for your work. Someone should add this to the pinned thread with all the other useful tools.

If you're talking about the one in the original post I'm pretty sure it's not up anymore.
Use this one:

Oof, thanks so much dude! I remember there was a problem in February where we couldn't run it locally anymore. This is so sick that we can use it again. Really helps when your favorites list gets huge and you want to see what your number one favorites are again!

You have to turn off add block for some reason? I had the same problem.

Anybody else get "See /corsdemo for more info" when trying to search something with this tool? It used to work for me before. Would appreciate any tips.

I cant get this to work on phone, it only loads a few images and then I see a bunch of "see original picture" under where there should be previews, but there are none.

If you are using Chrome, tap the three dots on the top right next to the tab number, then check "Desktop Site". Should work no problem.

Good job, only thing is clicking "original image" doesn't actually take you to the original image, just the R34 post
