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.
