Web Site Filter

A content filter for websites. It has a number of key words, which it tries to find on the web page. For each word found, a score is incremented. If a certain limit is passed, the page is blocked with a very simple message.

Web Site Filter is a powerful Chrome extension designed to block unwanted website content based on a keyword scoring system. It scans webpages for specific trigger words, incrementing a score with each occurrence. When the score exceeds a predetermined limit, the page is blocked with a simple notification, ensuring that users are protected from undesirable content.

Built upon a robust regular expression set derived from the GPL-licensed DansGuardian, this filter offers an effective approach to content control. For enhanced security, it can be combined with complementary blockers like ProCon Latte or Fox Web Security, which block based on hard-coded words, URLs, or hostnames, leveraging services such as OpenDNS and Norton. Web Site Filter is ideal for users seeking customizable content filtering to improve safe browsing experiences.

Extension safety

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.

Web Site Filter requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, 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.
