Best Browser Extensions for Muslims (2026 Guide)
Your browser is where most of your day actually happens. Work, study, news, messages, all of it. So it makes sense to shape that space around your deen instead of fighting it every hour.
Here are the extensions worth installing, grouped by what they actually do. All of them are free, and most run without an account.
Content Filtering: Keep Haram Off Your Screen
This is the category that matters most, because a feed shows you things before you get to decide.
Porda AI
Runs an AI model on your own device that detects and covers haram and NSFW content in images and video before it renders. It also has a Facebook Feed controller that kills sponsored posts and Reels. Fully offline, nothing uploaded. Currently sitting around 4.9 stars on the Chrome Web Store.
Al-Hudud
Blocks haram content with a broader site-level approach rather than in-page blurring. Good as a second layer alongside a blur tool. Around 4.7 stars.
PuritySight
Blocks adult sites and hides explicit content. Ratings are noticeably lower than the others here, so try it last.
Quick tip: blurring and site-blocking solve different problems. Blurring handles content that slips through on normal sites. Blocking handles the sites you never want to reach. Running one of each covers more ground than doubling up on either.
Music Removal: Watch Without the Background Track
A genuinely underrated category. Most useful videos on YouTube are fine except for the music layered underneath.
Music Remover
Strips background music from YouTube videos in one click, keeping the speech. Around 4.8 stars.
HaramMute
Same idea, focused on YouTube. Worth testing both to see which handles your usual videos better, since results vary by how the audio was mixed.
Prayer Times: Never Miss Salah at Your Desk
Prayer Times: In-Browser Prayer Notifications
The most solid free option. Supports every major calculation method, per-prayer notifications, Hanafi Asr adjustment, Hijri dates, and manual location entry for VPN users. Built on Manifest V3 and actively maintained.
Muslim Prayer Times
Prayer times, Adhan times, Sehri and Iftar timings, plus the Islamic calendar. The Ramadan features make this one worth keeping year-round.
Salah - Prayer Reminder
Location-based prayer notifications plus a daily Quran verse. Lighter than the others if you just want the reminder and nothing else.
Salati (open source)
The interesting one. On top of notifications and Adhan playback, it can block the internet or close your browser at prayer time. Aggressive, but that is the point. Available on GitHub if you want to inspect or modify it.
Quran and New Tab: Turn Dead Space into Reminders
You open a new tab dozens of times a day. That is free real estate.
Quran Tab
Replaces the new tab page with a Quran verse and translation. Simple and clean.
Quran Extension
Read or listen to any Surah without leaving your current page. Over 20 reciters, gapless audio, and translations in 15 languages. Also includes a Hijri calendar.
Bisma
Prayer times and Islamic quotes on your new tab, with Hanafi and non-Hanafi Asr options and a built-in to-do list. The nicest looking of the bunch.
Muslim Board
Prayer times, Quran verses, hadith, and adhkar in one new tab dashboard. Pick this or Bisma, not both.
All-in-One
Muslim Companion
Prayer times, Qibla direction, Islamic quotes, and reminders in a single extension. Convenient if you would rather install one thing than five. The tradeoff is that specialist extensions usually do their one job better.
A Word on Permissions
Before you install anything from this list or any other, click the permissions section on the store page.
An extension that only shows prayer times has no business requesting access to read data on all websites. A content filter legitimately needs page access to do its job, but it should be running locally, and the listing should say so.
The rule of thumb: fewer permissions and offline processing beat a longer feature list. An Islamic extension that quietly ships your browsing history somewhere is not doing you a favour.
Check the developer, check when it was last updated, and be suspicious of anything that has a huge user count but no clear privacy policy.
FAQ
Do these work on Brave and Edge?
Yes. Both are Chromium-based, so anything from the Chrome Web Store installs normally.
Can I use Chrome extensions on Android?
Not in Chrome itself. Use Muslim Ai Browser to enjoy haram blur features in mobile. Also, it offers a safer browsing experience and is delicately built for muslims.
Are these safe?
The ones listed here run locally where possible and request limited permissions. Always check the permissions list yourself before installing anything.
Are they free?
All the extensions listed are free to install. A few offer optional premium tiers or run on donations.
