I build an undetectable realtime adblocker extension with typesafe It checks every dom element and classifies as ad/non-ad and removes it if true Extremely fun to work with, expecting an incredible shift in how AI is being used in the future

Nothing like funeling all your web traffic to an AI company lol

True! Already removed it however. Its inefficient and there are better ways for adblocking, but it shows how good things like that could be used

Repo:

I like the concept! But feels a bit too slow for real use, is the latency purely from typesafe or is it something you can optimize on your end?

I can optimize it on my end. It would be 10x times faster but I needed those silly animations to showcase it in the demo video lmao

Cool, Does it block them permanently with a blocklist, or does it scan the same previously blocked items again and again ?

It’s just a fun demo, it scans all the items every time again and again. Not very efficient haha

the 'every dom element' assumption breaks at sandboxed cross-origin iframes. content scripts can't classify what they can't read, and a lot of real display inventory lives in exactly that pattern

Great execution, insane privacy nightmare

Clearly not the best application for this model, BUT a fun demo nonetheless!

Bangerr!!!!

I think, it is just scanning the DOM elements tree and deleting the ad block elements, which you could have achieved by using a Mutation Observer and having that deletion logic, this is what I don't understand why people use AI for every single thing 🫠🫠.. IMO I would use AI:

Marketers gonna be pissed

👀

Any link to try it?

bro, JUST ONE DAY, some of u people make me feel like a stupid ass

Totally agree with this

The freemium internet was built on the an advertisement backbone. That structure has been falling apart continuously, and with that giants such as Google and Meta have to change their business model completely.

Now make it detect ads network requests too and auto add them to filters list, so they are never requested.

Incredible

this is in fact detectable

GOATED i need this asap 🔥

Adguard home or pi-hole can do this out of the box

This is so cool

classifying every dom element means you're flagging content creators revenue. what replaces it?

bruh you're blocking ads just to pay directly per ad anyway 🤣🤣🤣🤣

wow

How does this compare to ublock origin? Since that is now the gold standard and I use it everyday and its really reliable

Link ?

If this can run locally, that's a much more interesting product. You get semantic filtering without sending every page you visit to an API.

You know what would have been smarter and faster is just denying the ips of ad companies.

fandom is unusable. this is awesome

Remove ads from YouTube videos

As a demo this is pretty cool and shows how useful the Jev model can be

Thats cool! How are you constricting the inputs? Just loop on all dom elements? Seems inefficient

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

for most pages you can just cache the rules as ubo filters or sth, you don’t need to run it on every page visit!

Src please boss. Want to see how you did it
