Pix Companion - Digital Skills Certification Tool

"Pix Companion" is a Firefox add-on designed for use during the Pix certification tests. It automatically activates filters to block access to prohibited websites, ensuring users cannot search for answers online. When a user attempts to navigate to a restricted site, they are redirected to an extension page. The add-on checks for violations continuously, including on tabs opened prior to activation, maintaining the integrity of the testing environment.
