About Ad Detector Extension
Ad Detector Extension is a Chrome extension that uses machine learning to detect advertisements in YouTube videos in real-time. Developed as part of academic research into browser-based computer vision.
🚀 Key Features
Ad Detection
- Real-time advertisement detection using computer vision
- Multiple AI models to choose from (ResNet, EfficientNet, MobileNet, Custom Temporal CNN)
- Visual feedback when ads are detected with confidence scores
Privacy
- 100% local processing - no data sent to external servers
User-Friendly Interface
- Simple toggle to enable/disable ad detection
- Model selection dropdown for different accuracy/speed preferences
- Debug mode for developers and researchers
Note: This is a proof-of-concept developed for academic research. While functional, it may not detect all advertisements with 100% accuracy. The extension is designed for educational purposes and to demonstrate the feasibility of browser-based AI applications.
