Extension summary

This browser extension allows you to temporarily filter out any DNA match, and their shared matches from your Ancestry DNA results. I intended this plugin for genetic genealogy use cases, including:

• Isolating DNA matches to a relative you haven’t tested. • Hiding DNA matches who have a specific shared match.

This extension requires your DNA matches to be presented in the default format – sorted by relationship, with no searches, groups, etc. applied. If the current layout does not meet those parameters, the filter checkboxes will not appear. The easiest thing to do – go to your DNA results summary, and click "View All DNA Matches."

This extension does not divulge any information to third parties.

User reviews

This is an absolutely wonderful extension that helped me solve the mystery of who my paternal grandfather was. Very helpful and easy to use.

This was great but it doesn't work anymore after the recent updates at Ancestry. I hope the functionality can be fixed.
