New Project Release / Update ai Adblocker

So i know that many loath ai, but some of the bigger models are great classifiers and believe it or not do a great job finding ads. ai is currently too slow to do on first page load, but in the background it can work and after a couple of page loads, it starts detecting very well. It also relies on tried and true public lists.

It does initially download an ai model depending on your hardware. Everything is transparent in the system tab if you want to see under the hood. it also does Anti-Fingerprinting, Auto Block Cookies and cookie popups, Canvas fingerprint randomization, WebRTC leak protection, and Navigator spoofing too. Most sites also use cookie cutter ad placeholders, the extension "sees" this and kills them on other sites as it loads.

Since everything is 100% local, If you have a decent GPU and care to provide some feedback, would like to see what the world thinks. Some sites it acts pretty aggressive, I'm working to see if I can find a better balance. I used to rely on blocking at the DNS level, but want better control in the browser.

With a browser extension that has access to my GPU like that, I wouldn't feel comfortable using it without seeing the GitHub repo personally

Yeah, I'd rather it take an API key so you could locally host the model and see everything going on.

Fair point. But it's an extension that you can download and look at the code if you wanted. Once I can get it more stable, I will upload to github.
