Pix Companion

Browser extension for Pix

Pix Companion is a browser extension designed to support the French government's Pix digital skills certification. It enhances test security by automatically restricting access to prohibited websites during certification sessions, ensuring users cannot search for answers or consult unauthorized content. The filter activates at the start of a Pix test and deactivates at the end, monitoring browsing events and currently open tabs in real-time to maintain test integrity. Ideal for test-takers and administrators, Pix Companion helps maintain a fair and compliant digital skills assessment environment.
