HaramBlock - AI-Powered Gaze Protection

Allah commands us in the Quran: "Tell the believing men to lower their gaze" (24:30).

HaramBlock is a browser extension that helps Muslims lower their gaze while browsing the internet. In a world where inappropriate imagery appears everywhere - in ads, social feeds, news sites, search results - protecting your eyes becomes a daily struggle. HaramBlock applies a digital hijab to web images, filtering out what shouldn't be seen.

HaramBlock was built to help the Ummah follow this ruling in the digital age. Let technology assist you in protecting your gaze and keeping your browsing free from fitnah.

How It Works

HaramBlock uses local machine learning models to locate and filter forbidden content within images. Unlike simple blockers that hide entire pictures, our model detects specific regions and masks.

Think of it as applying hijab to images: the awrah is covered, the rest remains visible and useful.

The extension automatically detects and masks website media in real-time:
