Poly-Filter Firefox

Poly-Filter

Automatically detects and flags products containing polyester, nylon, and other synthetic materials while you shop online. Browse plastic-free with confidence.

Features & Capabilities

Poly-Filter automatically scans product pages for synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, spandex, and acrylic then flags products so you can shop for natural fibers with confidence. No more squinting at fabric labels buried in product descriptions.

How it works: When you browse a retail site, Poly-Filter scans product pages in the background and dims any items containing synthetic materials in the gallery grid. A small badge shows exactly which synthetics were found. On individual product pages, a banner alerts you right away.

Works across a wide range of retail sites including American Eagle, Disturbia, Aritzia, BlackMilk, and most Shopify-powered stores. The extension runs entirely in your browser — no data is collected or sent anywhere.

Features:

  • Detects 17+ synthetic materials including polyester, nylon, spandex, elastane, rayon, acrylic, PVC, faux leather, and more
  • Dims flagged products in gallery grids with a hover-to-reveal option
  • Scans product pages using fabric descriptions, structured data, and metadata
  • Toggle individual materials on or off from the popup
  • Persistent cache so previously scanned products load instantly
  • Parallel scanning for fast results on large product listings
  • Lightweight status pill shows scan progress in real time
  • Completely private — everything runs locally, zero data collection

Perfect for anyone who wants to avoid fast fashion synthetics, shop sustainably, or simply prefers natural fabrics like cotton, wool, linen, and silk.

Is Poly-Filter 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.

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

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
  • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
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.

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