In the era of AI-generated content, maintaining authenticity in search results has become increasingly challenging. To address this issue, the uBlock Origin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist has emerged as a powerful tool.
This blocklist is designed to filter out AI-generated content from image search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, and Bing, enhancing the user’s search experience by promoting authentic results.
Functionality and Installation
uBlock Origin and uBlacklist are two extensions that can utilize this blocklist. While both serve similar purposes, they differ in their approach:
- uBlock Origin works by reducing the opacity of AI-generated content, effectively hiding it without blocking it entirely. This method avoids issues with pagination but can leave gaps in search results12.
- uBlacklist, on the other hand, directly blocks AI-generated content. However, it may encounter issues with pagination if too many images are blocked on a single page12.
To install the blocklist with uBlock Origin, users can manually import it by copying and pasting the list URL into the extension’s dashboard. For uBlacklist, users can add the list via the subscription tab in the extension’s settings12.
The blocklist is not limited to desktop use; it also supports mobile devices:
- On iOS and iPadOS, users can install uBlacklist via Safari, as uBlock Origin is not supported12.
- On Android, users can use uBlacklist or uBlock Origin through compatible browsers like Firefox12.
Additionally, the blocklist can be integrated into network-wide solutions like pi-hole and AdGuard using a hosts file, allowing users to block AI-generated content across their entire network12.
Both uBlock Origin and uBlacklist offer options for extended filtering based on keywords:
- uBlock Origin allows users to add custom filters using a template that hides divs containing specific text12.
- uBlacklist supports regular expressions to filter AI results based on keywords like “AI generated” or “stable diffusion”12.
Users can also create allowlists to exempt specific sites from being blocked, ensuring that useful content is not inadvertently filtered out12.
The uBlock Origin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist is a valuable tool for anyone seeking to minimize AI-generated content in their search results.
By offering flexible installation options and customization features, it provides users with a more authentic and controlled search experience across various platforms.
