This is the fallacy that LLM-boosters are spreading: "AI can never fail, it can only be failed". But when the fail ratio is so high, it cannot be only an execution problem. It is proof that the LLM technology is over-hyped way over the small niche where it's cost/benefit ratio can be positive.
A companion project for uBlockOrigin that curates a corpus of content blocking templates, and provides the server to create you personal list of content blocking rules. The official instance just hit 800 active lists and a lot of template suggestions have been filed recently.
The easiest way to contribute is to create new templates, fix or extend existing ones. You need to learn the uBlockOrigin syntax and how to properly target the right elements, happy to mentor! See recent PRs for examples and https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/blob/main/data/fi... for documentation.
The server itself is built with Go and HTMX, it's pretty low-maintenance, but there's interesting improvements if you want to toy with it (need to open issues for these).
Heya, project maintainer here! Adding Kagi support in https://letsblock.it/filters/search-results was an easy lift, and it allows to use the filtering presets that are available at the bottom of the template. It also allows you to bring your blocklist in and out as you transition between search engines.
Project maintainer here, thanks for the feedback. For context, this template was created two years ago when that creator's videos filled almost 20% of the Nebula timeline and "How do I hide his videos?" questions were a monthly occurrence on forums.
I agree in retrospect that it was a petty move, and I deleted the default values today, as the project now works fine without default values.

Project maintainer here, thanks for the feedback! It's indeed all rendered server-side with progressive enhancement, as javascript was intended to be used.
Happy to read that this work is not in vain!
My experience is that these are usually caused by bad-quality frontend code that does not properly handle errors around bad-quality analytics SDKs, and breaks in subtle ways when these SDKs throw exceptions.
The e-commerce industry is obsessed with tracking and optimizing their conversion rate, so a lot of them have a lot of manual instrumentation of their "user journeys". Imagine they emit an analytic event after you fill your address, and before unlocking the next checkout step. If uBO blocks the analytics event submission and the SDK throws an exception, that next checkout step won't unlock unless they implemented basic error handling.
https://letsblock.it : it allows you to create your own content blocking rule list from a corpus or community-maintained templates. It allows you to hide pinterest and stackoverflow clones from search results, remove shorts and upcoming streams from youtube, and many more. The project is now two years old and sustaining a slow but steady growth with an active community.
