Jev Ad Block

A Chrome Manifest V3 ad blocker that blocks ad requests with network rules and sends unclear page elements to TypeSafe Jev to decide whether they are ads, with local rules as the fallback.

What it is

Semantic ad hiding with a rules-first fallback.

What it does: Combines declarativeNetRequest rules and CSS hiding with Jev verdicts on ambiguous page elements, and restores anything Jev clears.

Why it belongs in the showcase: A concrete page-clutter-hide extension that shows how to cache Jev verdicts and keep working without the API.

Caveats: Unpacked install only; no measured accuracy.

Evidence

Public GPL-3.0 repo. Detection runs in layers: strong CSS markers and converted EasyList China / CJX Annoyance rules hide elements first; site detectors, overlay geometry and scored candidates go to Jev. High-confidence candidates are hidden at once and restored if Jev says they are not ads. Verdicts are cached per site and slot for 7 days. Without an API key, or on errors or quota limits, it falls back to local rules. Default settings: adThreshold 0.75, mainGuard 0.55, hourly budget 30,000.

Caveats

  • Load-unpacked developer extension; not listed in the Chrome Web Store at intake
  • With a key set, candidate text (up to 240 characters), element features and outbound domains may be sent to TypeSafe
  • Site rules focus on Chinese sites (Zhihu, Weibo, Bilibili, QQ Mail, hao123)
  • No published accuracy or false-positive numbers
