Clear answers.
A few details before you decide whether it fits.
What is FetLife Filter?
A free Chrome extension that filters recognized FetLife feed posts and member-list entries according to preferences you choose.
Does it send my filters or browsing data to the developer?
No. Preferences are stored in Chrome on your device. The extension has no developer-side analytics, account system, or cloud sync. If a filter needs profile details, it may read the member's FetLife profile or activity page from FetLife.
Will it work on every FetLife page?
It filters recognized feeds and member lists. Profiles and private messages are outside its filtering adapters. An unfamiliar layout is left unchanged.
What happens the first time I open it?
You’ll see a short notice that explains which FetLife pages the extension reads and where it uses your settings. Filtering starts only after you agree to that notice. A guided walkthrough then explains the defaults, Apply button, and pause controls.
Does it change or delete anything on FetLife?
No. It changes how recognized entries are displayed in your browser. It does not delete posts, send messages, change friendships, or alter account settings.
How do I report a bug or request a feature?
Use the contact form, or choose “Report a bug” or “Request a feature” at the bottom of the extension popup. An email address is optional and only used to reply. Please leave out passwords and private FetLife content.
Is it made by or affiliated with FetLife?
No. FetLife Filter is an independent third-party tool. FetLife has not sponsored, endorsed, or approved it.
Chrome Web Store listing in preparation
Your filters. Your browser.
When the listing is approved, you’ll be able to add the extension free. No account or payment required.
