Latest version
Version 3.0.1
Released Nov 12, 2026 - 148.82 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterFrontFilter 3.0 has a new design, a Stats tab and a settings lock.
• Settings lock: lock your settings until a date you choose. While it 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.
• Stats: your time on Reddit today and over the last 7 days, your visits, and what FrontFilter blocked and hid. Statistics stay on your device.
• Comment limit: a post's page shows only its first comments, each with its replies, and the next ones when you ask.
• Hide NSFW content and Hide spoilers, in the Filter tab, Old Reddit included.
• Exceptions for keywords and flairs, regular expressions as keywords (/colou?r/), and * alone to block every subreddit but those you allow.
• Paste a list into any list of rules to add them all, undo a rule you removed, and preview an import before it applies, with Restore.
• Blocked pages can lead to a website of your choice, and the block page can hide its Open settings button.
• Subreddit rules' modes are now called Front page and Everywhere (HOME and ALL).
• Keywords match whole words and ignore accents: "ai" no longer hides "said". Your keywords keep hiding what they hid: FrontFilter adds * to their ends.
• FrontFilter asks for the alarms permission, which shows no warning, and no longer for permission to block content on any page: its rules act only on reddit.com.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0

Version 2.3.0
Released Oct 1, 2026 - 86.13 KBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterAdded
- Hide ads and promoted posts.
- Hide votes, karma, awards, avatars and usernames, all at once or one by one.
- Hide suggested posts in the Home feed: posts from communities you have not joined.
- Hide posts by flair, with * wildcards.
- Keyword filters also hide the comments that contain a keyword, with their replies.
- Optional one-click Block buttons on feed posts and subreddit pages, with undo.
- A group's main switch, such as Hide navbar, shows a mixed state while only some of its parts are hidden, instead of a summary. Turning it off turns its parts off too, comment replies included.
- Each subreddit has at most one block rule. When rules for the same subreddit differ, ALL wins over HOME, and a one-click Block turns a HOME rule into ALL; undo turns it back.
Changed
- Grouped controls, such as the navbar and left sidebar sections, collapse under their main switch and summarize what they hide.
- Links point to the project's new repository, and the privacy policy is rewritten.
Fixed
- Comments that link to a subreddit blocked in ALL mode are no longer hidden.
- Hidden parts of Reddit, such as the navbar or ads, no longer show briefly while a page loads.
- Turning Disable video autoplay off starts videos already on screen, and later ones as they scroll into view.
- Hide usernames no longer hides the post author's avatar in subreddit feeds.Source code released under Mozilla Public License 2.0
