About

Block unwanted content intelligently using AI-powered rules. AI AdBlocker uses advanced machine learning to detect and hide advertisements, promotional content, and other distracting elements based on semantic understanding, not just static filter lists.

🤖 THREE AI-POWERED DETECTION METHODS

• Embedding-Based Rules: Fast semantic similarity matching using text embeddings
• Prompt-Based Rules: Direct AI analysis for contextual content evaluation  
• Vision-Based Rules: Visual AI analysis to detect image-based ads and deceptive layouts

🎯 KEY FEATURES

✓ Flexible rule system with CSS selector support
✓ Semantic understanding of content meaning, not just keywords
✓ Visual blurring of blocked elements
✓ Real-time testing and debugging
✓ Multiple AI provider support (local and cloud)

💻 AI PROVIDER OPTIONS

• Chrome Built-in AI (Gemini Nano) - FREE, completely private, runs on-device
• Local Model Servers (LM Studio) - FREE, self-hosted
• OpenAI / OpenRouter - Cloud-based (API key required)

📝 EXAMPLE RULES

div[class*="ad"]:contains-meaning-embedding('advertisement')
article:contains-meaning-prompt('clickbait or sensational headlines')
img:contains-meaning-vision('product advertisement or sponsored content')
