There is an additional optional filter list GenAI-Blocklist-Extra.txt with additional filters that are more subjective or experimental. They may be more prone to accidentally blocking non-AI content or breaking site functionality. These include:
- AI category in headers on news sites.
- Customer support chatbots that must be used before you can contact human customer support.
- YouTube: Trusted filter to remove autodubbing when loading a video directly via URL, but causes visible page refresh even on videos without autodubbing.
- Zoom: Highlights and automatic chapters on recorded meetings.
- Early versions of filters that require testing
These filters were developed for uBlock Origin and AdGuard. You should also be able to use them with AdBlock, Adblock Plus, or Brave's integrated adblocker, but issues may occur as these are not fully supported.
No. If you want to block AI sites from search engines, try laylavish's Huge AI Blocklist.
Can I use these filters with Pi-hole?
No. Pi-hole and uBlock Origin work differently. uBlock Origin allows filtering individual elements on pages, while Pi-hole blocks entire domains.
Can I use these filters with Opera?
No. These filters do not work with Opera's built-in adblocker or uBlock Origin for Opera. The built-in adblocker doesn't allow importing custom filter lists via URL while uBlock Origin for Opera didn't filter correctly when testing. (This may be an issue with Opera)
Over 300.
If you use AdBlock Plus, make sure "Show acceptable ads" is disabled in your settings.
uBlock Origin is not available for Google Chrome and iOS.
While uBlock Origin Lite exists as an alternative, it does not support custom filter lists on iOS. Support was added in uBO Lite for Chrome, but compatibility with this filterlist has not been thoroughly tested. A previous version of this README suggested copying the GenAI filters into uBO Lite's custom filters as a workaround. However, filtering was unreliable, updating required manually deleting the old filter rules, and some filter rules were incompatible.
Sometimes. This filter list was created with the primary goal of hiding AI elements, but some network filters have been added to prevent content generation.
Check GenAI-Blocklist.txt and GenAI-Blocklist-Extra.txt.
Some filters use scriptlets to block AI items. (DeviantArt & Pixiv image filters, YouTube autodubbing, TikTok videos, etc). Unlike uBlock Origin, AdGuard requires trusted filters for all scriptlets. Additionally, enabling trusted filters is easier in AdGuard compared to uBlock Origin.
A small number of filters require trusted filters in uBlock Origin. Trusted filters are disabled by default in uBlock Origin for security reasons, as they allow directly executing code on webpages.
To be clear, if you use uBlock Origin, you do not need to mark this list as trusted to use a majority of the AI filters. However, if you do want these extra filters, you can go to uBlock Origin's advanced settings and add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stevoisiak/Stevos-AI-Blocklist/refs/heads/main/ to trustedListPrefixes.
The filter for automatic dubbing on YouTube does not work when opening a video via direct URL. (IE: Entering the address directly in your browser's URL bar). It will work when clicking a video while already on YouTube, such as on YouTube's homepage, search results, or suggested videos.
The extra filter list has a filter that works when loading directly from URL, but it requires allowing trusted filters to run, (see above FAQ entry), and causes a visible page refresh whenever a video is loaded directly via URL.
This was a known issue when using the AI Blocklist with Brave that should be resolved. If you are still seeing YouTube ads and have confirmed it only occurs when the AI blocklist is installed, please open an issue.
