Twitter / X
Instagram
TikTok
Reddit
LinkedIn
Facebook
Bluesky

What you can hide

Algorithmic "For You" feeds
Explore and discovery sections
Shortform content (Reels, Shorts, TikToks) — hide or block entirely
Sidebar clutter (trending topics, who to follow, recommendations)
Live Channels and Viewers Also Watch on Twitch
Open App prompts on mobile

How it works

Click the Sift icon on any supported site to toggle settings for that site only. Every option defaults to the most restrictive setting — disable what you don't want to hide.

Need a break from filtering? Use Pause or Pause for 10 minutes to temporarily disable Sift on the current site.

Settings sync across devices via Firefox Sync and can be exported/imported as JSON.

Is Sift 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.

Sift requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

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.

Sift is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
