Recently, I have been working on a browser extension that flags AI videos on Youtube. This is my attempt towards better and cleaner internet.

I'm not sure if browser extension development is considered as webdev, but they sure overlap a lot. I'm using WXT framework and dx has been nice. The biggest pain is to get it working through Youtube's SPA re-renders, and ofc, finding stable anchors to attach UI's always been difficult.

Anyways, here's some info about the project.

When installed, viewers will see added buttons which are used to vote if a video is AI or not, and if it is, it will be tagged as one. Tags are shown on home page and search results.

If a video has overwhelmingly amount of 'not slop' votes, it will be flagged as a 'gem', but if it has a lot of 'slop' votes, it will be flagged as 'slop'.

It is open source and repo will be in comments. Lemme know what you guys think.

Edit: Thought this is worth pointing out, everything about this from this post to code and logo are human made! It would not make sense to rely on AI for something anti AI.

Extension name: CombatSlop YT
Repo link in cmts.

Combat Slop an extension that flags AI videos on Youtube.

Viewers will get to vote under each video if it's AI or not, and if it is, it will be tagged as one which will be shown on home page and search results.

If a video has overwhelmingly amount of upvotes (not slop), it will be flagged as a 'gem'.

Originally, I wanted a way to filter my search results cuz I kept stumbling onto slop videos. So I ended up making Combat Slop.

It works by relying on the wisdom of the crowd. You can report a video if it is slop by using the added buttons.

If a video has a lot of 'slop' votes, it gets tagged as SLOP. The tag can be seen on both **home feed** and **search results**, so you don't have to click on video to find out its AI made. The more users there are, the more accurate it gets.

It is currently out on Chrome Web Store, but still under review for Firefox. This is my first ever extension, but with WXT, dx was smooth. It is also open source, I will attach Repo link and website in the comments.

Please lemme know what you guys think! And as always, Handcrafted with love 🧡

Hello, long time lurker here.
Made this very minimal StartPage over the weekend.

Minimal but with easy customizability.

Runs 100% on client side and all data is stored locally.

Let me know what you think.
