- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13381788, 2 months agoBlocks more than it says it will.
Even blocks appropriate sites and the ability to uninstall it which is against FF ad-on policy. - Rated 1 out of 5by Psychpsyo, 3 months agoHello, I'm currently testing parental control systems to see which adult content tagging systems they respect. Even with "Examine Meta Content" turned on in the sensitivity settings, this extension fails to block websites based on various meta tags used by adult websites to identify themselves as such.
I've tested the following meta tags in use by adult websites and none of them cause the page to be blocked:
<meta name="rating" content="adult" />
<meta name="rating" content="mature" />
<meta name="RATING" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA" />
<meta name="rating" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA" />
This let me access at least two websites and various twitter accounts with explicit pornographic content which would otherwise have been blocked.
Also, all adult sites I've checked so far include at least one of these tags. - Rated 1 out of 5by Сырное, 8 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by McZ, 2 years agoPassword protects only the browser settings. It can easily be deactivated or removed from the puzzle icon - even with a password in place
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mephistopheles, 4 years agoWorks, but uses the shady practice of not being able to set a password unless you pay them, so even if it's there, anybody can just turn it off anyway
Edit: Even if you pay them, trying to install the android version says not intended for android,wtf??Developer response
posted 3 years agoHi, we offer all of the filtering options free of charge as a way to try out FoxFilter. In order help cover our expenses, we do charge a very minimal annual fee of $12.99, which we feel is very affordable. We are equally frustrated about Google Android only selectively supporting approximately 200 Chrome extensions for some reason, even though all Chrome extensions were installable on Android at one point. Feel free to reach out to us at foxfilter@inspiredeffect.com to discuss this more. Best regards, FoxFilter Team - Rated 1 out of 5by Mohamed, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16199159, 5 years agoAwful add-on. There is no way to get rid of it and never blocks the right things. For example, once it blocked the word 'Essex' and multiple other times it blocked the word 'adults' in the sentence 'kids and adults alike will love this'.
Whenever an 'alert' pops up, it automatically switches all of your tabs to the website that it thought was 'dangerous'. Interrupted my workflow way too many times! - Rated 1 out of 5by Bryan, 5 years agoAll filtering features are most certainly not free. You must pay to make an account to change any of them.
Useless even as a personal accountability tool, as the "fReE" version blocks non-adult websites for no reason.
I had this extension downloaded for less than 48 hours before I had to delete it. - Rated 1 out of 5by SM Faisal, 6 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14759988, 7 years agoSo, in order to prevent my child from turning off this add-on, I have to put a password. In order to put a password, I have to pay.
I get that it's a great tool, and you're providing it for free, but it's kind of useless when the whole of it can be undone by a kid with enough time to poke around in the settings.
Thanks, but no thanks. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14525215, 7 years agoIt was difficult to set up and difficult to remove. It filtered strange things, like the number 18. Why??!!! Yet some very filthy material came up several times.
