A new list has been added to ublock origin that “removes a number of various AI buttons, nags, prompts, etc. across various sites.”

Thanks to Elle for sharing.

Neat.

Side note: it’d be nice if they had a better explanation and examples of what some of these are. “Other annoyances” is vague! “Chat widgets” might be live chat?

They have whole communities dedicated to sorting out this extraordinarily complex field where one might learn the exact details.
I have the impression the relative simplicity and sparse descriptions in uBlock are because there are already (by my count) 76 checkboxes on the page. The software needs to be usable by idiots.

Exactly this. Go into too much detail and peoples eyes will glaze over and they won’t even read it

Thanks, I will be adding this. I fucking hate AI and all the slop it produces.

Oh my god, this is wonderful. I’ve been manually blocking AI bs to middling success. Thank you!

Edit: lol I had this already enabled on mobile but not on desktop
