HaramBlur Extension

HaramBlur is a browser extension that allows you to navigate the web with respect for your Islamic values, privacy and reduce browsing distractions.

HaramBlur utilizes face detection and NSFW content detection and provides controls that allow you to uphold the Islamic gaze protection principle and tailor your online experience by automatically blurring images and videos that contain unwanted or impermissible content.

You can configure the type of detection you want and the amount of blur, hover to unblur, choose a specific gender to blur, or turn the extension on and off via the interactive pop-up 😄

Features

Works on images and videos that contain unwanted or impermissible content
Works on most (if not all) websites and social media platforms
Configurable detection settings to tailor your browsing experience
Interactive pop-up for easy on/off toggling
Customizable hover to unblur feature
Decent speed and accuracy (can be improved)

How it Works

HaramBlur currently used face detection and recognition features provided by Human library to detect faces and blur them based on the user settings and preferences. It also uses NSFW detection provided by nsfwjs to further improve the accuracy. You can configure the type of detection you want and the amount of blur, hover to unblur, or turn the extension on and off via the interactive pop-up.

Installation

Clone the repository
run npm install
code your magic
run npm run build to build the extension, then load the extension in Chrome by going to chrome://extensions/ and clicking on Load unpacked (developer mode has to be on) and selecting the project folder.
Or run npm run release to generate a zip file for the extension to be uploaded to the browser/store.

Improvements

Here are some planned improvements that could be made to HaramBlur:

Support for more browsers
Improve the speed of detection
Improve the accuracy of NSFW detection to reduce false positives and negatives
Make the extension more Shariah-compliant by adding additional privacy controls and customization options
