It was a great project but it's kind of pissing in the wind. These things break constantly as new awful features get added. And there's not much you can do with ublock about high-level frontend changes that are the real problem, like google switching to infinite scroll or removing the plus operator. I can understand getting worn down.

I feel like you could use an AI to keep your blockers up to date

I don't think the ai will help you bite their corporate masters long term.

honestly it looks promising given that a lot of people is going to use it, the AI will learn faster to remove all kinds of ads and unwanted stuff.

It really is an arms race, and bigger/more well-known services like ublock origin are in the front lines of responding to the changes.
