uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist

A huge blocklist of manually curated sites (1000+) that contain AI generated content, for the purposes of cleaning image search engines (Google Search, DuckDuckGo, and Bing) with uBlock Origin or uBlacklist.

Also works on mobile (iOS, iPadOS, Android) via uBlacklist, as well as pihole/adguard (via Hosts file)

PC/Desktop installation

Installing it with uBlock Origin

One-click import (any platform)

If you have uBlock Origin installed, click this link to import the filter list in just a click! Quick and simple.

Manual Import

1. Make sure that you have the uBlock Origin Extension for Firefox, Chrome, or any browser that supports uBlock Origin

2. Click on the uBlock Origin Extension, and in the bottom right, there is a cog-wheel symbol--named the dashboard. Click it.

3. Once you are in the dashboard, look towards the top. Click on the tab that says "Filter lists".

4. Look towards the bottom, and expand the Import button.

5. Copy and paste this URL into the dialogue box:

6. Apply changes, and you're set!

[!TIP] uBlock Origin will automatically refresh the filter list once a day, so you'll always have up-to-date filters. If you want to force an update of the filter list, pressing the stopwatch next to the newly added list, then pressing Update now will achieve that.

[!IMPORTANT] If you find that your imported list isn't working, it may be due to an outdated web browsing session. If you haven't restarted your web browser for a long time, there's a chance the session won't update how it should, meaning importing the list into uBlock Origin or uBlacklist won't function correctly. Try creating a new session by closing all web browser windows, waiting until all processes are fully closed (4-5 second wait), then re-opening your web browser. That should help; if not, then try clearing your browser's cache.

Installing it with uBlacklist

One-click filter import (Only for Chrome, Firefox doesn't support one-click import)

If you use Google Chrome/Chromium and have uBlacklist installed, you can import the list in just one click. Click this link to automatically subscribe to the list.

Manual Import

1. Make sure that you have the uBlacklist extension for Firefox, Chrome, or any browser that supports uBlacklist

2. Click on your extensions list, select uBlacklist, then click on the "options" text, highlighted in blue.

3. Enable other search engines by clicking on the 'Other search engines/SERPINFO' button, and click on the search engines you want this list to work on. A list of compatible search engines (with images support) is linked here.

4. Scroll all the way down until you see the "Subscription" tab, and click on the blue "Add a subscription" button.

5. Give a name for the added blocklist (eg. Main AI blocklist).

6. Copy and paste this url

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist/main/list_uBlacklist.txt

into the URL part of the dialogue box, then press the blue Add button.

7. Set the update interval to an hour for near-realtime list updates, and you're done!

Mobile installation (iOS, iPadOS & Android)

iOS, iPadOS (Safari only)

[!NOTE] Both iOS and iPadOS don't have support for uBlock Origin. So, we'll be using uBlacklist for this. Safari is the only browser we can use that allows the use of extensions.

1. Download uBlacklist, available on the App Store

2. Go into settings, scroll down until you see Safari, and tap on it.

3. Once in the Safari settings, in General, hit Extensions. Turn on the uBlacklist extension.

4. While still in uBlacklist's settings, in the Permissions for uBlacklist section, scroll down to your preferred search engine and change the permission from "Ask" to "Allow."

[!IMPORTANT] This may look cumbersome, but all you really need to do is just allow the extension to hit your search engine's locale, for example, google.fr or google.co.uk. You can go through all of them and allow them, but it's not necessary.

5. Now scroll back up, and hit the blue Extension Settings button. It will bring you to Safari and open uBlacklist's settings panel.

6. Scroll all the way down until you see the "Subscription" tab, and click on the blue "Add a subscription" button.

7. Give a name for the added blocklist (eg. Main AI blocklist).

8. Copy and paste this url

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist/main/list_uBlacklist.txt

into the URL part of the dialogue box, then press the blue Add button.

9. Set the update interval to an hour for near-realtime list updates, and you're done!
