Although I avoid adding personal filters to uBlock Origin (1.65.0), this info from Reddit seems to work.

You can now block many #AI websites & content from your search engine results!
Step 1 - Add this free & open source #Adblocker to your #browser: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
Step 2 - Open the setting "dashboard" of the plugin, go to "filter lists" > at the bottom "import"
Step 3 - Add this list there & apply: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist/main/list.txt
Done
PS Opted for the oldschool #guide look, hope you like it too <3

Wow... He's a virtuoso
Its an advertisement for #ublockorigin
Having that piece interrupted by BLAAAH of an ad is rage inducing.
Edit: Do you mean the bit at 7:30?

LinkedIn changed how they code their landing page and I needed to adjust my uBlock Origin rules to hide the cluttered up "news" (really, ads) feed they put down the side of the page. If like me you want an uncluttered experience and use uBlock Origin, here's a rule that hides that feed:
#uBlockOrigin #LinkedIn #cruft #clutter #ads
This post is not an invitation to scold me for using LinkedIn or Microsoft products, nor to suggest I leave it or find alternatives.

uBlockOrigin is finally available for Safari! If you're on any of Apple's OSes, now's the time to get yourself a real and trustworthy ad-blocker.
ZDNET · uBlock Origin Lite has finally arrived for Safari - with one important caveat
I'm really happy to see uBlock Origin Lite make it to Safari, both on macOS 15.6+ and iOS 18.6+ (works fine on iOS 26 Public Beta too):

You can rest now, AdGuard, you did well 
App StoreuBlock Origin LiteuBO Lite (uBOL) is a reliable and efficient content blocker.
The default ruleset corresponds to uBlock Origin's default filterset:
- uBlock Origin's built-in filter lists
- EasyList
- EasyPrivacy
- Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
You can enable more rulesets by visiting the options page…

#uBlockOriginLite 、設定の「開発者モード」をオンにすると #uBlockOrigin からカスタムフィルターをインポートできそうだけど。どこに追加したら良いか良く分からず…。
結局追加やめて。地道に Lite の方で追加することに。
まぁフィルター見直す意味でも「これでいいかぁ〜」と。

Chrome拡張の「#uBlockOriginLite」にも、カスタムフィルター作れる機能追加されてた！！
…ただ #UblockOrigin みたいにカスタムフィルターを管理する設定画面はどこ？？ない？？
I worked out how to remove the non-dismissible 'See more on Facebook' popup with #uBlockOrigin:
www.facebook.com##body>.__fb-light-mode
It removes the popup and overlay, allowing you to continue browsing without logging in, at least for a while.

Are you sure? I don't use browsers that can't run full-fat #uBlockOrigin, and so I can't test this, but the Web page makes it sound pretty useful. I quote:

Fantastic news!
I was waiting this for years.

I've created an annoyance filter for the World Wide Web in general (non-Bing though because I already have Bing annoyance filters) that I'm going to put my custom filters in for uBlock Origin going forward. This will have "AI" and non-"AI" filters mixed together and won't be updated as often as the Bing ones, so things might break without me noticing. If that's the case, I've added a message to file an issue for it if one doesn't exist.
Codeberg.orgMyGists/ublock-origin-filters/web-nonbing-annoyance-filter.txt at mainMyGists - Gists I made on GitHub that I'm bringing here now so they're still available in some way. Each Gist will be in its own folder and may have a different license applied, but MIT will apply if not otherwise specified.
Mit dem Geschäftsmodell, Werbung erst zu blocken, sie aber nach Zahlung einer Gebühr durch den Seitenbetreiber wieder durchzulassen, macht man sich allerdings schon juristisch angreifbar. #LastBoost
Statt #AdBlockPlus besser #UBlockOrigin!
I've tried so hard to find an alternative browser to Firefox, and on Android in particular I just can't justify it! Extension support (which means uBlock Origin), great performance, not technically dependent on Google (but financially dependent) and I love the reader view, which is vastly superior to the Chromium equivalent. Bottom line, its just better for me, and whilst I'm disappointed with the privacy changes and the AI nonsense its still the best browser for me. #MozillaFirefox #WebBrowsers #uBlockOrigin
Gerichtsverfahren um #AdBlockPlus:
Der BGH: "Auf Basis des OLG-Urteils könne eine Urheberrechtsverletzung durch #Adblocker 'nicht ausgeschlossen werden' "
Wenn #AxelSpringer versucht AdBlockPlus wegen angeblicher "#Urheberrechtsverletzungen" zu verbieten und damit Erfolg haben SOLLTE, dann müssten doch auch zwangsläufig jegliche #AdBlocker (wie #uBlockOrigin, #AdGuard für Android, ...) und #ScriptBlocker (z.B. #NoScript) verboten werden?
Und #PiHole, wenn gewisse Dinge nicht wie im vorgesehen Code (nach)geladen werden weil die DNS blockiert wird?
