FrontFilter – Reddit Feed & Distraction Blocker by molfab

Make Reddit calmer. FrontFilter keeps the communities and discussions you came for, and switches off what keeps you scrolling: endless feeds, suggested posts, ads, and the numbers that pull you back in.

Turn on only what you want from the toolbar popup, and see the difference at once. FrontFilter is free and open source, needs no account, and keeps everything on your device. It works in Firefox for Android too.

Block the feeds that hook you

• Block Home, Popular, Explore and News, or the front page of every subreddit.
• Block subreddits by name or with wildcards: *news* blocks every subreddit with "news" in its name.
• Front page rules block a subreddit's front page; Everywhere rules block all of it and hide its posts from your feeds.
• Allow exceptions: block every subreddit with *, then allow the few you want to keep.
• Add one-click Block buttons to posts and subreddit pages, with undo.
• Blocked pages show FrontFilter's block page, or lead to a website of your choice.

Hide what you don't want to see

• Hide posts and comments that contain your keywords: whole words in any case, with or without accents, parts of words with *, as in spoiler*, or regular expressions. Allowed keywords keep the posts and comments that contain them.
• Hide posts by flair, and the posts and comments of users you'd rather not see.
• Hide suggested posts, suggested communities, and ads and promoted posts.
• Hide NSFW posts and spoilers, Old Reddit included.

Stop endless scrolling

• Show a set number of posts, or the next group only when you ask for it.
• Do the same with comments: a post shows only its first comments, each with its replies.

Simplify the page

• Hide votes, karma, awards, avatars and usernames.
• Hide comments, or only their replies.
• Hide the navbar and the sidebars, or just the parts you don't use.
• Turn off video autoplay.

See where your time goes

• How long you spent on Reddit today and on each of the last 7 days, in how many visits, and how it compares with the week before.
• How many pages FrontFilter blocked, and which most, and how many posts and comments it hid, and why.
• Pause or delete your statistics at any time.

Lock in your choices

• Lock your settings until a date you choose. While the lock lasts, changes that block or hide more apply at once, and changes that loosen your settings wait: from an hour to a week, or until the lock ends.
• See what waits and when it applies, and cancel it. A slip can be taken back within 10 minutes.

Private by design

• No account, no servers, no analytics, no ads. FrontFilter makes no network requests of its own and collects no data.
• It runs only on reddit.com, and your settings and statistics stay in your browser.
• Export your settings to a file, and import them on another computer.

Also

• Light and dark themes, following your system or your choice.
• Free and open source, under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
