Filter Bubble

Hide content that you don't want to see on the web

Features & Capabilities

Filter Bubble enables you to hide content that you don't want to see on the web.

How it works:

  1. Create a list of "topics" that you want to hide or remove from specific websites

  2. Configure rules for these websites by specifying CSS selectors that target the HTML elements of the content blocks or feed items that might contain any of the targeted topics

  3. If a targeted topic appears in a targeted HTML element on a targeted website, then it'll be hidden or removed from view

n.b. Only a handful of websites are configured out of the box, and you'll need to know how to target HTML elements using CSS selectors in order to configure additional websites!

User Reviews

It's not for everyone but if you know what you're doing (or if you're willing to learn a little) it simply works as intended, and that's all I asked for.

It's in the nature of things that such filters are never perfect (they don't consider context) – but for my purposes (removing trash from Reddit), it works great. Very satisfied, thank you!

Is Filter Bubble Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Filter Bubble requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Filter Bubble is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
