About this extension
FoxFilter content filter helps block harmful and inappropriate websites across computers and Android devices. Fully customizable for parental control, schools, and organizations, with flexible whitelist and blacklist controls, along with protection designed to help keep the filter in place.

Getting Started

Once installed, right-click on any web page and select "FoxFilter Settings" to customize your filtering preferences.

Additional Security Feature Now Available

To help keep FoxFilter from being removed or disabled, we now offer instructions and an optional helper script that can apply browser policies on your device. These policies use standard administrative controls, making it more difficult to bypass or turn off FoxFilter using normal browser settings.

Why users choose FoxFilter

FoxFilter is designed to be simple, flexible, and reliable for a wide range of users:
  • Fully customizable filtering based on websites and keywords
  • Whitelist and blacklist controls for precise access management
  • Password-protected settings to help prevent unauthorized changes
  • Works across home, school, and organizational environments
  • Lightweight browser-based solution, no separate software required

FoxFilter helps block content based on user-defined websites or keyword criteria. You can block entire sites or define custom keyword filters that apply across the web. You can also allow specific sites or keywords as exceptions.

The filter includes a built-in list of common keywords and allows you to expand or refine that list to meet your needs. This flexibility makes it suitable for both simple home use and more controlled environments like classrooms or shared devices.

All settings can be password protected, helping ensure that your configuration stays in place. A password recovery option is also available.

Sensitivity

FoxFilter includes sensitivity settings that allow you to control how aggressively content is filtered. If "Examine Body Content" is enabled, filtering may become more aggressive and could block sites that contain certain keywords within page content. If this occurs, you can adjust sensitivity settings or add exceptions as needed.

Support

Uninstalling
