I like the concept, but i wasn't able to get it to filter anything, even when i used a tag, "technology" that my homepage is filled with and it didn't filter anything (I did a "Save options" and a page refresh, tried the power button in both states (it's not obvious to me, or chatgpt-vision which is the on-state, but regardless i tried both and nothing was blocked)). Any troubleshooting tips? (and set a todo to fix the on/off button ui)

unrelated: for youtube are you classifying the content purely based on the title? or are you digging deeper and looking at the description and thumbnail and comments? Is there a second where the content is visible before it is blocked/hidden?

Just checked your account, if you could press the button on the top right and make it look like the power (without the slash) and then save? since it looks like it isn't enabled on your end.

And yeah still very early will be improving the UI a ton and taking into account your suggestions for the next version.

In terms of youtube, currently we just take into account the title, sometimes it is visible before hidden/blocked but we usually process within ~700ms so vast majority of the time you wouldn't see it.

I tried again, and now it's working - and yes it is reasonably fast but i wonder once you start adding vision it will likely increase your response time, to the point that you may need to consider a temporary blur until the content is vetted.

Anyways good work on the tool, it has potential even at just blocking inline ads and spam.
