Suppose there is a question tagged both with Java (favorite tag) and Algorithm (ignored tag, don't show it option). What would be the SO behaviour? Would I still see the question (preferred way to go) or would it be hidden?
PS. I found this question but it doesn't answer mine - there are just people preferences.

Both effects will be applied at the same time, which means you'll get a dimmed post with a different background color.

It's easy to test this yourself, by the way. I could verify this from your question by temporarily putting in my favorite tags and in my ignored tags.

This question came up over at rpg.meta.se, so the image below is taken from rpg.se.

Ignored tags set to be greyed out

In this image I have the four possible states in this order: Watched and Ignored, Ignored, Default, Watched: enter image description here

A post with a watched tag and an ingored tag gets greyed out by ignore and gets the highlighting for watched.

Ignored tags set to be hidden

If you have ignored a tag and set to hide questions with that tag, then the question does not appear at all, even if it is also tagged with a tag you are watching.
