typesafe-adblock
🧹 Fun project: a Chrome extension that asks a tiny AI decision model (TypeSafe Jev) "is this DOM element an ad?" and pops it off the page. BYOK, no backend, not a real ad blocker.

What it is
A Chrome extension (Manifest V3) that spots ads on any website in real time and pops their DOM elements out of the page. The semantic call, "is this element an ad?", is made by TypeSafe AI's System One model Jev. Everything else is plain code.
Where the decision sits
typesafe-adblock calls the hosted decision API rather than running its own weights. That keeps the project small and means its behaviour moves whenever the vendor ships a new model version. It also means an API key and a network round trip sit in the path of every decision.
Models it references: Jev.
How active it is
Created 2026-09-17, last pushed 2026-09-17, 59 stars and 4 forks when we read it on 2026-09-20. Everything in this category is weeks old at most, so a stale push date means something different here than it would on a mature project. Check the repository before you depend on it.
What we have not checked
Whether it works. We have not run this project, measured the model behind it, or verified any performance claim in its README. This page records what the repository says about itself, read on 2026-09-20. The one model we have measured end to end is Jev.

We turn your historical decisions into a frozen test set, then tell you which model, which threshold, and how much of it you can safely automate.
