Maybe this is weird, but I don't like how much my tags fill up the side of my org-agenda. This is especially true after I use org-agenda-filter-by-tag to filter down to a specific tag. For example, once I've applied a filter to see only WORK tasks, I'd like to not have the WORK tag show in the agenda view. Is there a way to hide the :WORK: text without hiding items with the WORK tag?

The variable you want is org-agenda-hide-tags-regexp
Regular expression used to filter away specific tags in agenda views. This means that these tags will be present, but not be shown in the agenda line. Secondary filtering will still work on the hidden tags. Nil means don’t hide any tags.
A typical setting is (setq org-agenda-hide-tags-regexp "tag1\\|tag2\\|tags3") to hide tag1, tag2 and tag3 in the agenda.
I often add
(org-agenda-hide-tags-regexp
(concat org-agenda-hide-tags-regexp "\\|sometag")
to agenda searches for "sometag" since it is guaranteed to be on everything and I don't need to see it.

This fixes the agenda view from being totally ugly when you decrease the window's width with
visual-line-modeenabled. Thanks! Sep 14, 2018 at 4:42 -

(setq org-agenda-hide-tags-regexp (regexp-opt '("tag1" "tag2" "tag3")))might be more readable.– grepcakeApr 20, 2020 at 15:10
