Technical details and restrictions
• To analyse images Machine Learning models for imagenet classification are used. The list of things to block comes from imagenet classes. This is why there are only physical things. For instance blocking abstract phobia like fear of heights or gore is not supported.
• Are analysed
• Images are first temporary blocked before their analyse. Images can sometimes blink before being temporary blocked.
• More than 99% of the size of the extension come from the Machine Learning models.
