# NoGen Search
## About
A browser extension that helps to filter AI-generated content from popular
search engines like Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo. It also provides some options
to disable certain AI features on these platforms.
## Features
- Filter search results based on a specified date range
- Predefined date filtering presets for the years 2023 and 2022
- Search engine-specific settings (disabling Google Overview, DuckDuckGo AI chat, and others)
- Exclude specific websites from your search query
- Lightweight and fast
## Permissions
- `cookies`: To modify cookies (for instance, Bing uses them to store an
information about copilot status)
- `scripting`: Inject JavaScript into web pages to hide elements, such as Google's Overview, from the page source code
source code
- `tabs`: Enable JavaScript injection and modify query parameters on browsers that use ManifestV3.
- `webRequest` and `webRequestBlocking`: Monitor and modify URLs when needed
- `declarativeNetRequest`: Used in ManifestV3 for creating network rules
- `storage`: Save and retrieve user preferences and settings

## Resources
Huge thanks to [Nicholas Taylor](https://nullhandle.org/) for [his article about Bing Date Search Operators](https://nullhandle.org/blog/2024-06-12-exploring-the-bing-date-search-operators.html). It wasn't obvious to figure out how they work 😅
And thanks to [Zach](https://github.com/zbarnz)! [Google AI Overviews Blocker](https://github.com/zbarnz/Google_AI_Overviews_Blocker) was an inspiration for this project
## Usage Notes
The extension manifest is defined in `src/manifest.js` and used by
`@samrum/vite-plugin-web-extension` in the vite config.
Background, content scripts, options, and popup entry points exist in the
`src/entries` directory.
Content scripts are rendered by `src/entries/contentScript/renderContent.js`
which renders content within a ShadowRoot and handles style injection for HMR
and build modes.
Otherwise, the project functions just like a regular Vite project.
To switch between Manifest V2 and Manifest V3 builds, use the `MANIFEST_VERSION`
environment variable defined in `.env`
HMR during development in Manifest V3 requires Chromium version >= 110.0.5480.0.
Refer to
[@samrum/vite-plugin-web-extension](https://github.com/samrum/vite-plugin-web-extension)
for more usage notes.
## Project Setup
```sh
npm install
```
You can customize your build via `.env` file
```conf
MANIFEST_VERSION=3
FIREFOX_BUILD=0
```
- `MANIFEST_VERSION` - manifest version you want to use (`2` or `3`)
- `FIREFOX_BUILD` - is the build for Firefox (`0` - no, `1` - yes)
## Project Setup
```sh
npm install
```
## Commands
### Build
#### Development, HMR
Hot Module Reloading is used to load changes inline without requiring extension
rebuilds and extension/page reloads Currently only works in Chromium based
browsers.
```sh
npm run dev
```
#### Development, Watch
Rebuilds extension on file changes. Requires a reload of the extension (and page
reload if using content scripts)
```sh
npm run watch
```
#### Production
Minifies and optimizes extension build
```sh
npm run build
```
### Load extension in browser
Loads the contents of the dist directory into the specified browser
```sh
npm run serve:chrome
```
```sh
npm run serve:firefox
```
